Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) oscillation was observed when the isolated mitochondria were immersed in a pyruvate solution. In addition, when an adenosine diphosphate (ADP) was added to the mitochondrial suspension containing pyruvate, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) oscillation was observed as well as NADH oscillation. At this time, the pH within mitochondria also oscillated. It was found that the oscillatory reaction of NADH caused by the membrane permeation of pyruvate continues, causing the oscillation of NADH and H+ in the subsequent reactions. The pH oscillation led to the ATP oscillation. It is considered that the oscillatory reaction caused by the gradual entry of pyruvate into mitochondria was thought to be carried over to both the citric acid cycle and the respiratory chain, ultimately leading to the ATP oscillation in oxidative phosphorylation. Similarly, it was found that membrane permeation of malate causes the gradual occurrence of NADH, at which point NADH oscillates, followed by an oscillatory reaction of the respiratory chain, and finally ATP oscillation. It was found that the oscillations of NADH and ATP occur without going through the citric acid cycle. Oscillations of NADH and other intermediates in both the citric acid cycle and respiratory chain were also confirmed by experiments using semipermeable membranes. These results support our hypothesis that the gradual entry of the substrate by membrane permeation triggers an oscillatory reaction of the enzyme, which is also carried over to subsequent reactions.
