Contents

A unique phenomenon of mitochondria-targeted protonophores is described. It consists in a transmembrane H⁺-conducting fatty acid cycling mediated by penetrating cations such as 10-(6'-plastoquinonyl)decyltriphenylphosphonium (SkQ1) or dodecyltriphenylphosphonium (C₁₂TPP). The phenomenon has been modeled by molecular dynamics and directly proved by...
