Partial purification of a dicyclohexylcarbodi-imide-sensitive membrane adenosine triphosphatase complex from the obligately anaerobic bacterium Clostridium Pasteurianum. 1976

D J Clarke, and J G Morris

The membrane adenosine triphosphatase complex of vegetatively growing Clostridium pasteurianum, solublized with Triton X-100, has been recovered as a significantly purified particulate preparation that is still sensitive to inhibition by dicyclohexylcarbodiimide and butyricin 7423.

D009327	4-Chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan	A benzofuran derivative used as a protein reagent since the terminal N-NBD-protein conjugate possesses interesting fluorescence and spectral properties. It has also been used as a covalent inhibitor of both beef heart mitochondrial ATPase and bacterial ATPase.

D009840	Oligomycins	A closely related group of toxic substances elaborated by various strains of Streptomyces. They are 26-membered macrolides with lactone moieties and double bonds and inhibit various ATPases, causing uncoupling of phosphorylation from mitochondrial respiration. Used as tools in cytochemistry. Some specific oligomycins are RUTAMYCIN, peliomycin, and botrycidin (formerly venturicidin X).	Oligomycin
D011092	Polyethylene Glycols	Polymers of ETHYLENE OXIDE and water, and their ethers. They vary in consistency from liquid to solid depending on the molecular weight indicated by a number following the name. They are used as SURFACTANTS, dispersing agents, solvents, ointment and suppository bases, vehicles, and tablet excipients. Some specific groups are NONOXYNOLS, OCTOXYNOLS, and POLOXAMERS.
