Abstract
1.
1. ATPase activity has been estimated in heart mitochondria of the fresh-water turtle, Chrysemys picta.
2.
2. This activity is Mg2+-dependent and stimulated by the presence of DNP.
3.
3. The pH optima of ATPase activities are 8·5 with Mg2+ ions, and 7·4 in the presence of DNP.
4.
4. Differential responses to inhibitors are evident in the presence of added Mg2+ ions or DNP, with DNP-stimulated activities being sensitive to a wider spectrum of inhibitors and to the aging process.
5.
5. Bovine serum albumin, but not EDTA, effectively preserves DNP-stimulated ATPase activity during aging. A causal relationship with fatty acids is implied.
6.
6. These data may be used to support either a one or a two enzyme hypothesis, with the latter being favored.
