Abstrakt: (1) A selective increase in permeability is induced in cardiolipin/phosphatidylcholine bilayers at Ca2+ concentrations of 1--3 mM. At higher concentrations of Ca2+ the permeability barrier is completely destroyed. (2) The selective increase in permeability is correlated with the formation of lipid particles visualized by freeze-fracture electron microscopy and an isotropic signal in 31P-NMR spectra. (3) Lowering the Ca2+ concentration shows reduction in permeability but the formation of the lipid particles is a non-reversible process. (4) At higher Ca2+ concentrations, 31P-NMR spectra and freeze-fracture results indicate the formation of the hexagonal phase, explaining the disappearance of the permeability barrier.
