The phase behavior of isolated photoreceptor membrane lipids is further investigated by31P‐NMR, in view of earlier discrepant results [(1979) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 558, 330–337; (1982) FEBS Lett. 124, 93–99]. We present evidence that the discrepancy is due to bivalent cations. When resuspended in aqueous media at neutral pH in the absence of bivalent cations, the isolated photoreceptor membrane lipids largely adopt the bilayer configuration. However, upon addition of such cations (Ca2+Mg2+) or when resuspended in their presence, the formation of other phases (hexagonal HII, lipidic particles) results. The rate of this transition depends on cation concentration and temperature. The transition is not easily reversed by addition of EDTA. Implications with regard to photoreceptor membrane structure and function need further study.
