Adenosine Triphosphate Synthesis Coupled to K + Influx in Mitochondria

Abstract
The influx of K + into swollen mitochondria in the presence of valinomycin results in the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate in which approximately one H + disappears per adenosine triphosphate synthesized. The synthesis is blocked by atractyloside but is insensitive to oligomycin and relatively insensitive to uncouplers.
