Initial rates of pyruvate transport in mitochondria determined by an "inhibitor-stop" technique.
An "inhibitor-stop" technique has been developed for measuring initial rates of pyruvate transport into mitochondria. The technique uses alpha-cyano-3-hydroxycinnamate as the inhibitor and separates the mitochondria from the radioactive medium by Millipore filtration. Observed rates depend on availability of hydroxyl and other exchangeable anions within the mitochondrial matrix.
