Abstract

The effect of valinomycin, nigericin and gramicidin on the cellular O 2 consumption and on ATP content has been investigated. It has been found that while valinomycin and nigericin interfere with mitochondrial functions, gramicidin D does not show any appreciable effect. These results are explained in terms of the differing abilities of ionophores to redistribute among intracellular membranes.
