Studies using IR, UV, CD, fluorescence, and NMR techniques on the calcium ionophore A23187 (calcimycin) under various conditions clearly showed that the mol. exists as a stable dimer in nonpolar solvents and aggregates further into a stacked dimeric pore structure in phospholipid vesicles. Results indicated the possibility of transmembrane calcium ion transport by this ionophore also by a pore mechanism in addn. to the carrier type. Bilayer membrane conductance expts. with A23187 incorporated into lipid bilayer gave single channel current in the picoampere range. The current characteristics showed the existence of both carrier and channel properties for ion transport by this ionophore.
