The phase diagram of monolayers of L-alpha-dimyristoyl phosphatidic acid has been studied by fluorescence microscopy. For pressures corresponding to the nearly horizontal slope in the pressure area diagram the growth of crystalline platelets can be observed. They are of dendritic nature; their sizes

The surface properties at the air/water interface and the interaction of branched chain polymeric polypeptides with a general formula poly[Lys-(DL-Ala m -X i )], where X Γ M (AK), Ser (SAK), or Glu (EAK), with phospholipids were investigated. Polylysine derivatives with polycationic (SAK, AK) or amp
Diacylglycerophosphocholines, containing various c~-branched fatty acids, were synthesized and purified to homogeneity. The influence of the a-branched acyl chains on the monolayer packing properties of these phospholipids was studied by the Langmuir-Blodgett film balance technique. NMR investigatio
The surface pressures and the surface viscosities of lecithin, cephalin and its analogs were measured at the air-water and the oil-water interfaces. It was found that the surface viscosity of the phospholipids used in this study was very high, and was comparable to those of some polymer films at the
