Current evidence strongly suggests that a substantial fraction of the phospholipids in many membranes are arranged into fluid bilayers (1). Although the word "bilayer" is self-explanatory, the term "fluid" is not. This paper summarizes recent data on the fatty acid configurations, dynamics, and conf
Measurements have been made of the optical reflectance of egg lecithin-cholesterol bilayers and a value of 64 Β± 4 ,~ obtained for the bilayer thickness. There is some evidence that Ca ++ binds to the bilayer when the ion concentration in the aqueous phase is greater than 2M. These results are compar
