Abstract excerpt
The SH-groups in Escherichia coli membrane vesicles, prepared from cells grown in fermentation conditions on glucose at slightly alkaline pH, have a role in the F0F1-ATPase operation. The changes in the number of these groups by ATP are observed under certain conditions. In this study, copper ions (Cu2+) in concentration of 0.1 mM were shown to increase the number of SH-groups in 1.5- to 1.6-fold independent from...
