This characteristic uncoupling is observed only when the native coupling sites of the electron transport system are used for energization such as for methylviologen-coupled phosphorylation. With pyocyanine, which creates an artificial coupling site, 1000-fold higher gramicidin D and higher palmitic acid concentrations are required for inhibition, and the inhibition is accompanied by a decrease in. Moreover, comparison between photosystem 1 and photosystem 2 electron transport and the effects of membrane unstacking suggest that low gramicidin D preferentially inhibits photosystem 2, while palmitic acid inhibits more effectively photosystem 1 coupling sites. The inhibitory capacity of fatty acids significantly drops when the chain length is reduced below 16 hydrocarbons or upon introduction of a single double bond in the hydrocarbon chain. It is suggested that palmitic acid and gramicidin D interfere with a direct H+ transfer between specific electron transport and the ATP synthase complexes, which provides an alternative coupling mechanism in parallel with bulk to bulk µ+. The sites of inhibition seem to be located in chloroplast ATP synthase, photosystem 2, andthe cytochrome b¿ f complexes.
