Abstract

Changes in membrane elastic modulus were measured for intestinal brush border on activation of its Na+-glucose co-transport, and for such secretory granules as chromaffin and zymogen on rise of free [Ca2+]. It is suggested that an increase in membrane flexibility is strongly correlated with activation of such biological functions as transport and exocytosis.
