β¦ Synopsis
Mixed dispersions of sphingomyelin and Triton X-100 were prepared by two procedures. In method A, aqueous dispersions of sphingomyelin were mixed with aqueous solutions of Triton X-100. In method B, solutions of sphingomyelin and Triton X-100 in organic solvent were mixed, the solvent was evaporated and the dry residue was dispersed in buffer. Measurement of turbidities, electron microscopy and sedimentation of the mixed dispersions suggested the following: Below the critical miceUar concentration of Triton X-100, the sphingomyelin is present as liposomes which sediment in the ultracentrifuge. Above the CMC, mixed micelles of sphingomyelin and Triton form. Method B resulted in aggregates of sphingomyelin which contain Triton X-t00 even below its critical micellar concentration and which are smaller than those obtained by method A.

Previous pmr studies at 220 MHz have led to the suggestion that phosphatidylcholine and tile nonionie surfactant Triton X-100 form mixed micellar structures at high molar ratios of Triton to phospholipid. These mixed micelles provide one form of the phospholipid which the enzyme phospholipase A 2 ca
