Measurements have been made of the optical reflectance of egg lecithin-cholesterol bilayers and a value of 64 ± 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
Gossypol (1,1 ',6,6 ',7,7'-hexahydroxy-5,5 ' -diisopropyl-3,3 '-dimethyl[2,2'-binaphthalene]-8,8' dicarboxaldehyde) previously used as a male oral contraceptive is an amphiphilic compound. At low concentrations, it is expected that gossypol would intercalate into the phospholipid bilayers. To demons
