Artificial vesicles, liposomes, were prepared from the total fraction of phospholipids of rat liver mitochondria. Electron microscopy showed that the structure of liposomes depended on cation composition of the medium in which they were formed. Fluorescence of chlorotetracycline increased in the suspension of liposomes loaded with Ca+2 due to the formation of Ca+2-chlorotetracycline-phospholipid membrane complex. Incubation of liposome suspension with phospholipase A in the presence of EDTA resulted in a decrease of chlorotetracycline fluorescence indicating a break of the integrity of liposome membranes and Ca+2 efflux.
