Bushra Hanaif Professor Kristen Przyborski BI 121-02 April 14‚ 2013 1) In the 1940s‚ some physicians prescribed low doses of a drug called dinitrophenol (DNP) to help patients lose weight. This unsafe method was abandoned after a few patients died. DNP uncouples the chemiosmotic machinery by making the lipid bilayer of the inner mitochondrial membrane leaky to H+. Explain how this can cause weight loss. In a coupled reaction‚ an exergonic reaction provides the energy needed to drive an endergonic
