Abstract
Uncouplers are molecules with protonophoric and ionophoric capabilities that mediate coupled cyclical transport of cations, a transport that takes precedence over all other coupled processes. Uncouplers form cation-containing complexes with electrogenic ionophores that potentiate cyclical transport of cations. The molecular mechanism of uncoupling sheds strong light on the mechanism of coupling.This publication has 26 references indexed in Scilit:
