[edit] Effects on pH

Hi, I was wondering, with it dissipating the proton gradient over the membrane, isn't it also likely to mess with the pH of the cell? Quite how it would affect it I'm not too sure, since there's an inner and out mitochondrial membrane over which protons could be carried. Anyone any ideas? Jph53 20:42, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I als also thinking, wouldn't dinitrophenol rapidly change cellular pH? Wouldn't it cause cellular pH to change to blood pH (7.4). Would this not have detrimental effects on cellular biochemistry? Jph53 17:31, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Improving the article

this site has all the info you need if someone wants to rewrite this article with good info. http://www.geocities.com/byggdegstor/dnpforside

Have you considered doing it yourself? That would be immensely helpful. JFW | T@lk 22:09, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
