Moyle, Jennifer

The chemiosmotic hypothesis had the great virtue of predicting the following consequences which could be tested (1) electron-transport driven proton pumps with defined stoichiometries and (2) a separate ATP synthase, which could be driven by a pH gradient or membrane potential. Mitchell s hypothesis was initially greeted with skepticism but it encouraged many people, including Mitchell and his associate Jennifer Moyle, to test these predictions, which were soon found to be correct.178... 

Peter Mitchell and Jennifer Moyle showed that protons are pumped out of mitochondria during respira-tion. When 02 is added to a suspension of mitochondria, the pH decreases in the solution surrounding the... 

After retirement in 1963, she began writing her classic work, Machina Carnis The Biochemistry of Muscle Contraction in Its Historical Development,00 which was published in 1971. The book had a dedication page to F.G.H. mentor and friend. Then, for many years she assisted Mikulas Teich with A Documentary History of Biochemistry 1770-1940. Unfortunately, Moyle s health deteriorated, as her former student, Jennifer Williams, described ... 

I would like to record my indebtedness to Dr. Jennifer Moyle for advice and help during the preparation of the manuscript. I am also grateful to Glynn Research Ltd. for supporting this work.
