Plots relating the initial rate of mitochondrial Ca2+ transport to the Ca2+ concentration (kinetic plots) have a hyperbolic shape in a Ca2+ concentration range of 2.5-100 .mu.M as measured in sucrose or KCl media. In the presence of Mg2+ or a polyamine spermine, which are competitive inhibitors of Ca2+ binding to low affinity sites at the membrane surface, the shape of the plots becomes sigmoidal. At higher concentrations of these agents linear kinetic plots were obtained as measured in a sucrose medium. In a KCl medium the sigmoidality of the kinetic plots was enhanced by an increase in the Mg2+ or spermine concentration. Mg2+ and spermine may affect the kinetics of Ca2+ transport by interfering with Ca2+ binding to low affinity sites of the membrane surface and the binding of Ca2+ to these sites was probably the first step of the mitochondrial Ca2+ transport.
