Reconstitution of Purple Membrane Vesicles Catalyzing Light-driven Proton Uptake and Adenosine Triphosphate Formation
Open accessAbstract
Abstract The purple membrane from Halobacterium halobium was incorporated into phospholipid vesicles. On illumination (2 x 106 ergs per cm2 per s) the reconstituted vesicles took up protons (50 to 200 ng of ions H+ per mg of purple protein) which were released in the dark. Addition of valinomycin accelerated both the rate of uptake in the light and the release of protons in the dark. Uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation abolished the uptake of protons. Inclusion of the mitochondrial oligomycin-sensitive ATPase during reconstitution yielded vesicles which catalyzed light-dependent phosphorylation. These reconstituted vesicles represent a simple model system for a biological proton pump capable of generating ATP from ADP and Pi.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
