Complete layers of some lipids are formed spontaneously on the surfaces of solutions of sufficient concentration in certain solvents, e.g. phosphatidylcholine (egg lecithin) and phosphatidylinositol (wheat germ) dissolved in hydroxypropionitrile.

β¦ Synopsis
It is shown how films of pure or mixed lipids can be investigated by means of He( I) photoelectron spectroscopy; the relationship between the results and those from pressure/area studies is discussed. Films of phosphatidylcholine (egg lecithin), cholesterol and mixtures of the two have been studied, a monolayer of lecithin facilitates the early stages of the surface adsorption of cholesterol but a monolayer of cholesterol has the reverse effect on lecithin.
