Abstract
The effect of partial inhibition on the protonmotive stoichiometry of cytochrome-c reductase and cytochrome-c oxidase in intact rat liver mitochondria was examined using myxothiazol and cyanide as inhibitors, respectively. No decrease in the stoichiometry of either enzyme was found. It is shown that this result is consistent with the individual electron transfer units in each case being fully coupled to proton translocation but not with pairs of electron transfer units working in concert in dimers.
