Measurements were made of the stoicheiometry of proton translocation coupled to respiration in mitochondria from Candida utilis where the number of functional energy-conservation sites between intramitochondrial NADH and oxygen was one in a mutant with a novel oxidase (Downie & Garland, 1972), two in sulphate-deficient cells (Haddock & Garland, 1971) or three in glycerol-limited cells (Light & Garland, 1971). The stoicheiometries of protons translocated per atom of oxygen utilized (i.e. -->H(+)/2e(-) ratio; Mitchell, 1966) were close to 2.0, 4.0 and 6.0 respectively. Thus by using the same substrate (intramitochondrial NADH) and oxygen throughout, the -->H(+)/2e(-) ratio is shown to be 2.0 per energy-conservation site when the number of such sites is varied from one to three.
对产朊假丝酵母线粒体中与呼吸偶联的质子转运化学计量进行了测量,在一种具有新型氧化酶的突变体中,线粒体内NADH与氧气之间的功能能量保守位点数量为1个(唐尼和加兰,1972年),在硫酸盐缺乏的细胞中为2个(哈多克和加兰,1971年),在甘油限制的细胞中为3个(莱特和加兰,1971年)。每利用一个氧原子转运的质子化学计量(即H⁺/2e⁻比率;米切尔,1966年)分别接近2.0、4.0和6.0。因此,通过始终使用相同的底物(线粒体内NADH)和氧气,当这种位点的数量从1个变化到3个时,每个能量保守位点的H⁺/2e⁻比率显示为2.0。
