In isolated spleen or testicular mitochondria, held on ice for 1/2 to 3 hours, the oxidative phosphorylation (tested with succinate or alpha- ketoglutarate as substrates) was uncoupled; the P/O ratio dropped to about 60% of its original value. Cytochrome C or DPN did not prevent the drop or P/O during storage of mitochondria. Irradiation of mitochondria with doses of 10 to 14 kr (with 200 kv x rays) also did not affect the P/O ratio. Dinitrophenol uncoupled oxidation phosphorylation in irradiated or non-irradiated mitochondria to the same degree. (OTS)
