The Effect of Calcium Ionophores on Fragmented Sarcoplasmic Reticulum

X-537 A and A 23187, two antibiotics which form liphophilic complexes with divalent cations, function as ionophores in vesicular fragments of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Addition of either ionophore to SR preloaded with calcium in the presence of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), causes rapid release...
