A fraction of coarse mitochondria from the rat brain was deposited after short-term effect of supersound to obtain "metabolones". Activity of dehydrogenases of alpha-ketoacids, succinate dehydrogenase, aspartate-, alanine- and GABA-alpha-ketoglutarate amino-transferases has been determined in the supernatant liquid and in "metabolones". It is shown that dehydrogenase activity is mainly (93-100%) localized in "metabolones", while the level of aminotransferase activity in the latter is lower (72-94%). Nonproportionally high activity of aminotransferases in the supernatant liquid is found to considerably suprpass a decrease in activity of these enzymes in "metabolones" against a background of extremely scanty losses of protein (within 5%) induced by the supersound effect. A hypothetic model of a "metabolone" containing the enzymes of the Krebbs cycle and GABA-shunt is suggested.
