Effects of the cyanine dye 3,3'-dipropylthiocarbocyanine on mitochondrial energy conservation

P H Howard Jr et al. Biochem J. .

Abstract

Mitochondrial respiration and oxidative phosphorylation were inhibited by the membrane potential probe 3,3'-dipropylthiocarbocyanine [diS-C3-(5)]. Evidence is presented that suggests that the dye acts as both an inhibitor of electron transport and an uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation.
