✦ Synopsis


The stereoselective recognition by monoclonal antibodies of two-dimensional monolayers of cholesterol spread at the air-water interface is presented. Using immunofluorescence, we show that one antibody, raised and selected against crystals of cholesterol monohydrate, specifically recognizes monolayers of cholesterol, but not monolayers of epicholesterol--its epimeric form. This demonstrates that stereoselective recognition also applies to protein-surface interactions.

Hemin, antimalarial drugs and complexes formed between them, have demonstrable effects on biological membranes. Using the phospholipid monolayer model, we show that hemin intercalates into the membrane and increases its surface pressure, depending on the lipid composition and the initial surface pre
