β¦ Synopsis
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 interface, affinity for the protein to be crystallized, and accessibility of the ligand under the lipid monolayer.
') An additional problem encountered with steroid-hormone receptors related to the technique is the hydrophobicity of the ligands. These must be drawn far enough into the aqueous phase through the presencc of the highly hydrophilic spacer.

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, (
