Asymmetric photo-effect in bimolecular lipid membranes of oxidized cholesterol separating ferric-chloride and iodide, potassium ferricyanide and iodide has been detected. The bilayer shows two different types of light-induced behavior in these systems. It is proposed that in the first type, in the f

โฆ Synopsis
The photo-electrical effect has been studied for a BLM which contains chlorophyll. An electron acceptor (ferric chloride) produces a rectification effect in the BLM and produces sensitivity to light. Open circuit voltage, current, and resistance has been measured as a function of light intensity.

A variety of electrochemical events occurring on a bimolecular membrane of oxidized cholesterol have been detected. With solutions of I2 in NaI on one side and safranine on the other side of the membrane, an electric field in one direction causes a stable precipitate of high electrical resistance to
