Antimycin A

Description

Inhibitor of Complex III. It binds to the Qi site of Complex III and inhibits the transfer of electrons from heme bH to oxidized Q (Qi site inhibitor)[1].

Abbreviation: Ama

Reference: MiPNet09.12,

Application in HRR

Ama: Antimycin A (Antimycin A from Streptomyces sp., Sigma A 8674, 25 g, store at -20 °C: FW = 540)

Caution: Chemicals stored in the fridge or freezer should be allowed to reach room temperature before opening.


Preparation of 5 mM stock solution (dissolved in 99.9% Ethanol):

1) weigh 5.5 mg of Antimycin A directly into a small glass vial !Difficult to weigh - appears to be hygroscopic!
2) add 2 ml Ethanol
3) divide into 0.2 ml portions OR store in 2 ml glass vial and use subsamples during experiments to avoid contamination of the stock solution
4) store in glass vials (recommendation) at -20 °C
