ATP hydrolytic activity was assayed in the reaction mixture containing 20 mM Tris-HCl pH 7.6, 5 mM MgCl2, 10 mM NaCl and the purified ATPase (30 μg protein). The reaction was started by the addition of 4 mM ATP (Tris salt). Each inhibitor was added to the reaction mixture 10 min before the start of the reaction. One hundred percent activity corresponded to 450 nmol min-1 (mg protein)-1.
