title: Monovalent cation specificity of passive transport mediated by laidlomycin and 26-deoxylaidlomycin.
abstract: The capacity of laidlomycin (I) and the new 26-deoxylaidlomycin (II) to facilitate passive fluxes of cations through a layer of organic solvent (CHCl3/n-heptane) was estimated in comparison to monensin A (III). While II displayed a 10fold higher transport rate for sodium as compared to calcium, laidlomycin (I) was distinguishable by mediating approx. 100 times lower conveyance of the divalent cations.
