Coupling Factors in Oxidative Phosphorylation

  • Chapter
The Molecular Biology of Membranes

Abstract

A classical approach to the study of the mechanism of multienzyme systems involves resolution of the constituent parts and reconstitution of the system from the purified components. Application of this approach to the study of the mechanism of oxidative phosphorylation was first initiated in David Green’s laboratory. He devised the procedures for the large-scale isolation of mitochondria from bovine heart.(1) Even now this is the source for much of the fractionation studies. In 1958 the preparation of phosphorylating submitochondrial particles, ETPH, and the first coupling factor(2) was reported. General use of these pioneering techniques led to the isolation and characterization of four generally accepted coupling factors, shown in Table I.
