Abstract
Pyruvate transport into rat liver mitochondria is inhibited by a variety of thiol reagents. alpha-Cyanocinnamate and its derivates, potent and reversible inhibitors of pyruvate transport, react reversibly with mercaptoethanol and cysteine to form addition products. It is concluded that these inhibitors react with an essential thiol group on the pyruvate carrier.
