Permeability to water, dimension of surface, and structural changes during swelling in rat liver mitochondria.

摘要: Rates and amounts of water translocation across the mitochondrial membrane have been studied with a photometric technique. The process can be described in terms diffusion equations, mitochondria behave as spherical bodies between 15 110 mosm. A permeability coefficient to 5.3×10−3cm sec−1 has calculated. surface is about 1m2/g protein during incubation 0.10m KCl, increases 30 m2/g 0.005m KCl.
