Reversible inhibition of beef heart cytochrome c oxidase by polyionic macromolecules
Abstract:
The basic proteins protamine (sulfate), histone, lysozyme, and ribonuclease were found to be potent inhibitors of mammalian heart muscle cytochromec oxidase. Their inhibitions were completely reversed in the presence of a strongly anionic polyglucose sulfate. With fresh rat heart muscle homogenates, Keili and Hartree type of beef heart muscle particulates, and deoxycholate-solubilized oxidase preparations, the reversible nature of the phenomenon was demonstrated with manometric and spectrophotometric assays for cytochrome c oxidase.
