## Abstract Discocytic human red cells undergo discocyte‐echinocyte and discocytestomatocyte transformations under the action of a wide variety of lipid‐soluble anionic and cationic agents respectively. These shape transformations are explained by the bilayer couple hypothesis of Sheetz and Singer

Reversible aggregation of erythrocytes was investigated after alteration of the phospholipid content in the membrane outer leaflet either by disturbance of endogenous transmembrane lipid asymmetry through changes in cellular free calcium, or by incorporation of exogenous lyso-derivatives. It was fou
## Abstract Intact human erythrocytes, initially depleted of Mg^2+^ by EDTA incubation in the presence of A23187, exhibit Mg^2+^‐dependent phosphate production of around 1.5 mmol per liter cells · h, half‐maximally activated at around 0.4 mM added free Mg^2+^. This appears to correspond to Mg^2+^‐s
Exposure of fish red blood cells to increased concentrations (0.05-0.3 mmol/L) of copper and mercury ions may initiate structural changes in cells as detected by spin labeling method. Both heavy metals decreased membrane fluidity as indicated by methyl 5-doxylpalmitate and methyl 12-doxylstearate sp
## Abstract Isolated human erythrocyte membranes were exposed to a series of reagents known to modify or perturb proteins; these included sodium hydroxide, lithium diiodosalicylate, acid anhydrides, and organic mercurials. Each reagent liberated the same set of relatively polar polypeptides from th
