Artificial membranes containing a phospholipid and valinomycin were prepared. Valinomycin in these membranes acts as an ionophore (a mobile carrier for potassium ions) at a temperature above the phase transition point of the phospholipid. Experimental data were explained by the theory of carrier‐mediated transport accompanying formation of a carrier‐ion pair complex.
