Abstract
A procedure was described for preparing intact mitochondria from spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) Leaves. These mitochondria oxidized succinate, malate, pyruvate, .alpha.-ketoglutarate and NADH with good respiratory control and ADP/O ratios comparable to those observed with mitochondria from other plant tissues. Glycine was oxidized by the preparations. This oxidation linked to the mitochondrial electron transport chain, was coupled to 3 phosphorylation sites and was sensitive to electron transport and phosphorylation inhibitors. Cyanide completely inhibited the oxidation of NADH. The oxidation of succinate, malate and glycine was only partially inhibited.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
