Mixed monolayers composed of phospholipid and fatty acid containing azobenzene on a water surface were investigated by the Maxwell displacement current (MDC) measurement method. The transient displacement current pulses were generated across mixed monolayers due to the photoisomerization of fatty ac

Cyclosporin-A (CsA) is a pharmaceutical product which has a polypeptide structure and immunosuppressive activity. It may be administered in the form of liposomes, and this has a series of advantages. Therefore, in this paper, the possible interaction between CsA and phospholipids is studied. The sup
Using the Maxwell displacement current (MDC) measurement with alternating monolayer compression and expansion process, the dielectric property of monolayers has been investigated. The monolayer expansion and compression processes were analyzed on the basis of the Debye theory, and the relaxation tim
Phospholipid monolayers adsorbed at the air-water interface are useful model membranes and have been employed to study the interactions between phospholipids and blood clotting factors I and VII. Factor I is a non-membrane-binding protein and was found to penetrate both distearoylphosphatidylcholine
