Abstract The decline of the transport ratio of the sarcoplasmic calcium pump observed in a recent study (A. results from the retardation of calcium oxalate precipitation at low calcium/protein ratios. The prevailing high internal calcium level supports a rapid calcium backflux and a compensatory ATP hydrolysis during net calcium uptake which reduces the transport ratio. Yet, the determined calcium back­ flux does not fully account for the decline of the transport ratio. A supposed modulation of the stoichiometry of the pump by external calcium (0.1 μм) is at variance with results of previous studies showing a constant transport ratio of two in the same calcium concentration range.
