This review will focus on the effect of non-bilayer lipids, or the propensity for hexagonal II phase formation, on the activity of mycoplasma Mg 2+-ATPase, mitochondrial ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase and H +-ATpase. The effect of several additives (bilayer stabilizers or promoters of H. phase for

Porin of the outer membrane of Rhodobacter capsulatus St. Louis (ATCC 23782) was isolated and reconstituted into lipid bilayer membranes. The porin was obtained either by the sodium dodecyl sulfate treatment of cell envelopes (SDS-porin) or by saline extraction of whole cells (NaCl-porin). Nanomolar
The peptide antibiotic nisin is shown to disrupt valinomycin-induced potassium diffusion potentials imposed on intact cells of Staphylococcus cohnii 22. Membrane depolarization occurred rapidly at high diffusion potentials while at low potentials nisin-induced depolarization was slower suggesting th
