摘要
A method is proposed to estimate the stoichiometries of primary Na+-pumps in intact bacterial cells, It is based on technique when the H+/e(-) stoichiometry is measured in the presence of protophorous uncoupler and in the absence of penetrating ions other than H+, Under these conditions, the H+ influx discharges membrane potential generated by the Na+ pump so the Na+/e(-) and H+/e(-) ratios become equal. Using this approach it is shown that the Na+/e(-) ratio for the Na+-motive NADH : quinone oxidoreductase of Vibrio alginolyticus is equal to 0.71+/-0.06. The Na+/e(-) stoichiometry appears to be approximate to 1, provided that the contribution of the non-coupled NADH : quinone oxidoreductase, which is resistant to low HQNO concentrations, is taken into account.
