title: Inhibition of mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase by dicarbanonaborates.
abstract: Dicarbanonaborates inhibit the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase activity. In contrast to mitochondrial ATPase or glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase, inhibition of cytochrome c oxidase was not competitive and the residual, drug-insensitive activity was higher. These results indicate that dicarbanonaborates inhibit various mitochondrial membrane-bound enzymes through different mechanisms.
