1967B. C. Pressman et al. in Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. LVIII. 1954 It is our conclusion that both the valinomycin and the nigericin classes of antibiotics induce alkali ion permeability in mitochondrial and other systems by carrying ions across lipid barriers as lipid-soluble complexes. Accordingly we propose to classify them generically as ionophores or ionophorous agents. 1970Jrnl. Biol. Chem.
