Abstract
Pyridine nucleotide transhydrogenase activities of a highly purified soluble NADH dehydrogenase and particulate NADH-ubiquinone reductase (Complex I) differ in their pH optima (5.0 and 6.0, respectively) and in their sensitivity to inhibition by Mg 2+ and ATP. The oxidation of NADPH with ferricyanide as acceptor is very similar in both preparations with a pH optimum around 5.0. It is concluded that Complex I possesses two types of transhydrogenase activity, whereas only one has been found in the soluble dehydrogenase.
