The Effect of the Dithiocarbamyl Compounds on the Pasteur Mechanism in Intact Cells.

This article focuses on the effect of the dithiocarbamyl compounds on the Pasteur Mechanism in intact cells. There is much biochemical evidence supporting the assumption that the levels of inorganic and energy-rich phosphate act as regulators of the reaction rate of energy-generating processes in the cell. The results show conclusively that the dithiocarbamyl compounds have no effect at all on the phosphorylative couplings and the energy transfer in intact cells at concentrations which cause growth inhibition.
