Membrane ATPase activity measured with and without 0.5% LDAO, which activates F1 ATPase by disassociation of the inhibitory ɛ subunit. Activity expressed in units of μmol min−1 mg−1.
Membrane ATPase activity was measured after preincubation of membranes at 10 μg/ml in ATPase assay buffer with 50 μM DCCD for 20 min at 22°C.
