title: The effect of two new peptide antibiotics, the hypelcins, on mitochondrial function.
abstract: The action on mitochondria of 3 peptide antibiotics, hypelcin-A, hypelcin-B, and alamethicin, was examined. The results showed that they are unique uncouplers of oxidative phosphorylation, with the same mechanism of action.
