## Abstract It is known that hamster sperm require an unidentified low molecular weight “factor” found in several cells and tissue types in order to remain strongly motile during in vitro capacitation. The β‐amino acid taurine (2‐aminoethane sulfonic acid) is present in a partially purified “factor
Bicarbonate/CO 2 , a physiological effector of sperm capacitation, has been shown to induce a rapid and reversible change in the lipid architecture of the plasma membrane of live boar sperm: the change is detectable as an increase in the cells' ability to bind the fluorescent dye merocyanine, a char
