✦ Synopsis
The work reported herein deals with the synthesis and the preliminary physical-chemical analysis of new hemifluorinated surfactant made up of one fluorinated chain linked to a tricarboxylic acid polar head which is able to complex a Ni atom and should favor the twodimensional crystallization of membrane proteins. Such a compound forms a Langmuir film which is a fluid at 20 °C and not perturbed by the presence of hydrocarbon detergent in aqueous solution.

The synthesis of phospholipids 1n-3n, rationally designed for two-dimensional crystallization of progesterone and estrddiol receptors, is reported. The structure of these lipids provides them with essential properties such as fluidity and stability when spread into monolayers at the air/H20 interfac
Properties required of lipids for two-dimensional crystallization of proteins on lipid layers at the air/water interface are discussed in terms of molecular structure. These properties are related to essential features of the overall system such as (i) the fluidity and stability of the lipid film, (
