Abstract

Studies of the temperature dependence of the energy of activation of rat liver mitochondrial respiration have revealed a linearity in the energy of activation between 25 to 41° with changes in slope observed at 20–25° and higher than 41°. Analysis of the phase transition and energy of activation of coupled and uncoupled respiration affords an approach to clarification of mechanisms.
