Measurements have been made of the optical reflectance of egg lecithin-cholesterol bilayers and a value of 64 ยฑ 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

Paramagnetic resonance of cholestane and three fatty acid probes is used to measure the effects of the addition of cholesterol, 7-dehydrocholesterol and ergosterol to egg phosphatidylcholine bilayers. At low concentrations we find that all three sterols effectively align the bilayers. However, conce
This review will focus on the effect of non-bilayer lipids, or the propensity for hexagonal II phase formation, on the activity of mycoplasma Mg 2+-ATPase, mitochondrial ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase and H +-ATpase. The effect of several additives (bilayer stabilizers or promoters of H. phase for
