The effect of temperature and ouabain on the breakdown of ATP and 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate in glucose-depleted human red cells.
Ouabain exerts only a minor effect on ATP breakdown at 37 degrees C and practically none at 4 degrees C. The effect is less at higher pH values. At 4 degrees C the rates of breakdown at ATP, AMP and of 2,3 P2G are nearly two orders of magnitude less than at 37 degrees C.
