Studies on oxidative phosphorylation revealed that, in frog skeletal muscle mitochondria (SKMM) from the thigh, the adenosine diphosphate/oxygen ratio (ADP/O) was 2.8 +/- 0.1 SE, and the respiratory control ratio was 9.5 +/- 0.9, with pyruvate/malate as the substrate. Oxygen uptake rate (Qo2) was 225 mumol O2 per minute per gram mitochondrial protein +/- 13; phosphorylation rate (ADP/O X Qo2 X 2) was 1,230 mumol ADP phosphorylation per minute per gram mitochondrial protein +/- 77; and the phosphorylation capacity (phosphorylation rate times tissue mitochondrial protein content) was 3.6 mumol ADP phosphorylated per gram wet weight of muscle +/- 0.2. Tissue mitochondrial protein content was determined by the measurement of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) oxidase activity. Electron microscopy (EM) revealed intact, isolated, energized twisted mitochondria of a condensed form. Frog sartorius muscle mitochondria gave similar oxidative phosphorylation parameters when investigated independently of the rest of the thigh. These values of SKMM respiration from the frog are similar to those values obtained from pigeon and rabbit heart and rat skeletal muscles. However, because of the low NADH-oxidase activity indicating reduced mitochondrial content (this was verified in low-magnification EM pictures), phosphorylation capacity was significantly reduced in frog skeletal muscle mitochondria.
