New indicators for fluorescent measurement of Na+ and K+ ions should prove particularly useful for studies of reconstituted carriers of these ions. We show that PBFI, a K(+)-specific probe, provides a convenient and sensitive assay for the study of K+
P Paucek et al.

The transport properties of mitochondria are such that net potassium flux across the inner membrane determines mitochondrial volume. It has been known that K+ uptake is mediated by diffusive leak driven by the high electrical membrane potential maintained by redox-driven

Although the predominance of plasmalogens in electrically-active membranes (e.g., sarcolemma) is well-known, identification of the molecular mechanisms through which the vinyl ether linkage facilitates electrophysiologic function has remained elusive. Herein we demonstrate that the kinetics of both carrier-mediated (i.e., valinomycin)

Liposomes of egg PC/PG (8:2, mol/mol) were multilabelled with PBFI, pyranine and oxonol VI, fluorescent probes for, respectively, K+, H+ and membrane potential. Monitoring fluorescence with a multichannel photoncounting spectrofluorometer during K+ filling experiments allowed to measure K+ influx, the
