The action of 2:4-dinitrophenol on oxidative phosphorylation

Abstract

In a previous paper (Judah & Williams-Ashman, 1951) the effect of a number of compounds was tested on oxidative phosphorylation in cell-free systems. 2:4-Dinitrophenol (DNP) was selected for further study because of widespread interest in this Nucleic acid estimations were carried out by the method of Schmidt & Thannhauser (1945).
