Oxidation of external NADH (NADH is an impermeant substrate) by cells of Tetrahymena pyriformis oscillated with a period of 24-26 min. The period length in darkness (25.6 min) appeared to be slightly longer than the period in light (approximately 24 min). When Tetrahymena were placed in darkness for 30-50 min and then returned to light, a new maximum in the rate of NADH oxidation was observed 36-38 min (13 + 24) min after the beginning of the light treatment. The cell-surface NADH oxidase of human buffy coats (a mixture of white cells and platelets) also was periodic and light responsive.
梨形四膜虫细胞对外源NADH(NADH是一种不能透过细胞膜的底物)的氧化以24 - 26分钟的周期振荡。在黑暗中的周期长度(25.6分钟)似乎比在光照下的周期(约24分钟)略长。当梨形四膜虫在黑暗中放置30 - 50分钟后再回到光照下,在光照处理开始后36 - 38分钟(13 + 24分钟)观察到NADH氧化速率出现一个新的最大值。人血沉棕黄层(白细胞和血小板的混合物)的细胞表面NADH氧化酶也是周期性的且对光有反应。
