Abstract:ATP-hydrolysis was measured with thylakoid membranes during continuous illumination. The concentrations of free and enzyme-bound ATP, ADP and P, were measured using either cold ATP, [Y-~~P]ATP or P*c]ATP. The concentration of free ATP was constant, free ADP and enxymebound ATP were below the detection limit. Nevertheless, [y-s2P]ATP was bound, hydrolyzed and '*Pi was released. The ADP was not released from the enzyme but cold Pi was bound from the medium, cold ATP was resynthesized and released. A quantitative… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
