A thermodynamic approach is proposed to quantitatively analyze the binding isotherms of peptides to model membranes as a function of one adjustable parameter, the actual peptide charge in solution z(p)+. The main features of this approach are a theoretical expression for the partition coefficient ca

## Abstract (1) Membrane vesicles from rabbit thymocytes accumulate α‐aminoisobutyrate in the presence of 0.1 M NaCl. Uptake is 1/2 maximal after about 2 min and reaches a plateau value (61 pmoles/mg protein) after 30 min. (2) Up to 25 μg concanavalin A/ml, binding of the lectin describes a sigmoid
Vesicles having diameters from 20 to 200 nm were prepared from egg-yolk phosphatidylcholine (PC) and were separated as well as analyzed by methods that can be carried out with standard laboratory equipment. Gel-chromatography on Sephacryl S 1000 was adapted for expeditious size analysis of vesicles
