It is well established t)rt CPL has rultipie elects on the reabrane psareability o! variow cells (14) .
The inhibitory elect o! CPfG on the pea~eability o!
ester (ib), H+a+ and L+(18), and acetate (17) ws reported in a variety o! cell r~branes.
It is probable that the inhibitory eliect o! CPL on the synaptoscui
binding o! Br is a relleotioa o! the general rsbrane eüscts o! this agent. Ibarapartiwlate apace in the pellet reasoned by im~lin-retbozr 9H wan not chaageE by the agent.
This suggests that the change o! oriti al wins o! the particles,
as observed in the inllueaa of CPL as the wires of erythrocyte (1B), ray not be the anse of the CPL e!leot on the Bfbinding o! syaaptosores . Oorrents The association o! Br with syaptoscaes iadiates that the synaptosaral r~brane contains es:posed, highly ionised cationic oonrtituents to which various anions ray bs board by ionic forces .
The synaptosaral and synaptic vesicle
r~branes also posses arposed and highir ionised polyanioaic groaps which are the site for binding sad retention o! various ationic substances each as potassia~ (19), aoetyicholine (90) and 3-hyd:orytryptarine (91) .
lrurtlur
erperirents wül be directed at characterising and ideatilying these anionic and cationic coastitusnts o! the syaaptosoral rsbraae which are apable o! binding various ionised substances . Although there is no doubt that the syaaptoscaes (prssynaptic endings) have a relatively high alüaity !or Br , the p~arraoologi a1 signiliante of this phenareoon in the Cl~ will require lurther investigation .
Binding o! bide by the synaptosaaes sad ritochondria o! rouse brain was studied upder a variety of ezperiremtal conditions .
The synaptosaral uptate o!
braride wan energy independent and was facilitated by the addition o! ations, While the presence o! other anions such as nitrate, iodide, pyauvate and lactate inhibited the association o! brcrids with synaptosares .
Acidili anon o! the

Brain sitoohoadria alw bound broside but such less extensively than synaptoscaea . The results are ooaristeat with the interpretation that the binding of brosids appears to resesble an anion ezohange process .
Oae of the attributes o!
the braside binding rite on the synaptoraaer is the prsseaoe of exposed, highlyionised cationic constitaants .
P~rthsx~ore, the results suggest that negative
surface charge of the synaptoroses say also bs a regniatory factor for the binding .
