Abstract

Plasma membranes prepared from Saccharomyces cerevisiae by the concanavalin A method were fused with liposomes by a freeze-thaw sonication method. A Δψ of -109 mV was generated in the sealed vesicles by a valinomycin-mediated potassium diffusion potential. This component of protonmotive force was able to drive a transient uptake of leucine.
