title: Experiments on the mechanism of the inhibition of mitochondrial Ca2+ transport by La3+ and ruthenium red.
abstract: The effects of La3+ and ruthenium red on the energy-linked uptake of Ca2+ mediated by a synthetic neutral Ca2+ ionophore have been investigated in rat liver mitochondria. The results indicate that unspecific surface charge effects do not play a major role in the mechanism of inhibition of mitochondrial Ca2+ transport by La3+ and ruthenium red.
