RESUMO

Potato tuber mitochondria oxidized exogenous NADH and exogenous NADPH at similar rates; the electron transfer inhibitor rotenone did not inhibit the oxidation of either substrate. Submitochondrial particles, prepared from potato tuber mitochondria, exhibited a greater capacity to oxidize NADH than NADPH; rotenone inhibited the oxidation of NADH by 29% and the oxidation of NADPH by 16%. The oxidation of both NADH and NADPH by potato mitochondria exhibited pH optima of 6.8, and although substantial NADH oxidase activity was observed at pH 8.0, little NADPH oxidase activity was detected at that pH. The oxidation of NADPH by the mitochondria was more sensitive to inhibition by EDTA than was the oxidation of NADH.
