IC50 for ATP hydrolysis and ATP synthesis for BDQ and oligomycin on yeast and human ATP synthase. Cyanide sensitive ATP synthesis for yeast mitochondria was 51.3 ± 2.6 nmoles/ATP/min/mg protein and was inhibited 98% with oligomycin (1 μM). Cyanide sensitive ATP synthesis for human mitoplasts was 9.0 ± 0.6 nmoles/ATP/min/mg protein and was inhibited 98% with oligomycin (1.25 μM). Total ATP synthesis for yeast mitochondria was inhibited by 98.6% with 1.5 mM sodium cyanide and by 59.2% with human mitoplasts.
