Armando Gómez Puyou, Mexican biochemist (San Luis Potosi 02 April 1934 – Ciudad de Mexico 23 December 2013) Authored over 150 papers Demonstrated that monovalent cations promote the NADH oxidase action (1969-72) With A. Peña Díaz proposed a mechanism of K+ transport by an ATPase in yeasts (1967) and discovered a H+ATPase system related to K+ transport system (1972) Isolated a Ca2+ carrier independently of Carafoli (1971) With M.

Becker et al. demonstrated that is possible to attack Trypanosoma cruzi at interface between the two subunits in triosephosphate isomerase from Homo sapiens and that from parasite without side effects (2007) METHODS With M. Tuena de Gómez Puyou. A simple method of purification of a soluble oligomycin-insensitive mitochondrial ATPase (1977) With A.
