Transmembrane pH gradients created across phospholipid vesicles give rise to time-dependent potentials as determined from the EPR spectra of phosphonium ion spin labels in the system. From the time-dependent spectra, the transmembrane H+/OH- current is obtained and hence the current-voltage curve for the vesicle membrane is obtained. The current-voltage curve is linear with a membrane resistance of 3 +/- 2 X 10(9) omega cm2 corresponding to a membrane permeability of 5 +/- 2 X 10(-7) cm/s. This unusually high permeability is further increased by small amounts of lipid oxidation, CHCl3 or the general anesthetic halothane.
跨磷脂囊泡形成的跨膜pH梯度会产生随时间变化的电位,这可通过该系统中鏻离子自旋标记的电子顺磁共振光谱来测定。从随时间变化的光谱中,可以获得跨膜H⁺/OH⁻电流,从而得到囊泡膜的电流-电压曲线。电流-电压曲线呈线性,膜电阻为3±2×10⁹Ω·cm²,对应膜渗透率为5±2×10⁻⁷cm/s。少量的脂质氧化、CHCl₃或全身麻醉药氟烷会进一步提高这种异常高的渗透率。
