Abstract
Lysis of erythrocytes offers an unique opportunity to probe the fine structure of
the bilayer as a function of its state of energization. Critical monitoring of the volumes, ion
fluxes and related measures in erythrocytes exposed to a variety of milieu and treatments
showed that one can critically distinguish the nature of the prelytic perturbations and the
proximate forces actually responsible for the disruption of the membranes among surface
charge density, elastic energy etc.
