A theoretical treatment of the electrical conductance and tracer permeability of lipid bilayer membranes in the presence of macrocyclic ion carriers is given. The analysis is based on the assumption that the complex between the ion and the carrier is formed in the membrane-solution interface. The translocation of the complex across the membrane is described as a transport over an activation energy barrier. It is shown that some information on the rate constants may be obtained from the existing conductance measurements. For instance, the current voltage characteristic of lecithin membranes in the presence of monactin indicates that the rate-determining step in the ion transport is the translocation of the complex across the interior of the membrane.
