✦ Synopsis

The lytic action of a number of N-acyl amino acids on lecithin liposomes was examined. The agents' affinity for the lecithin liposome membrane was measured and the results obtained were treated to estimate the interactions of the amino acid residues with the lecithin polar head group at the surface of the liposome membrane. The data were considered in relation to the study of the surfactant effects on the erythrocyte volume. The ability of the suggested approach to obtain information on protein-lipid interactions inaccessible by other techniques is briefly commented on.

Alpha-sarcin is a cytotoxic protein composed of a single polypeptide chain. This protein shows a significant degree of amino acid sequence similarity with a group of several phylogenetically related fungal ribonucleases. The leading member of such a group is ribonuclease T1. Three proteins of this g
