Figure 4. Effect of FAs on the proton transport activity of associated neuronal UCPs in liposomes.

Figure 4

(A) Average corrected proton transport rates mediated by neuronal UCPs in L-α-lecithin vesicles. FAs were used at the concentration of 50 μM to activate the proton transport by UCPs. The reported rates are the means of 5–10 independent measurements±the S.E.M.s. The phospholipid concentration was ∼20 mg/ml; the final protein content in the liposomes was 2–5 μg/mg of lipid. The final proton transport rates were corrected for the total protein content in the liposomes. (B) Structure of FAs tested in the present study.
