COOPERATION OF INTRACELLULAR NADH-OXIDATION SYSTEMS
Abstract
In model experiments the authors examined cross-connections with the main pathway of the respiratory chain in mitochondria. They ascertained reactions between the soluble diaphorases of the cytoplasm and the mitochondria. At the same time, they traced the possibility of reaction between microsomes and mitochondria in the model and examined it as to its mechanism of reaction. The electron transfer of this respiratory cooperation is not based on an absorption or diffusion process. As far as the cross-connections of the respiratory pathways in the cell are concerned, the ferric flavin enzymes of the mitochondria play a significant role as a center of cooperation. The importance of the cooperative ways in the cell is discussed.
