The effect of protein cross-linkage on proton translocation and electron transport in mitochondria respiratory chain was studied. Dimethylsuberimidate (1 mM) or dicyclohexyl carbodiimide (50 g/ml) inhibit proton translocation with concomitant stimulation of respiration. It is concluded that the definite level of dynamic mobility of proteins is needed for proton translocation.
