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
The synthesis of a VP3(110-121)~HAV peptide was carried out by solid phase methodology. A physicochemical study on the interaction of this peptide with phospholipids involving lipid mono-and bilayers is described. The surface activity of the peptide is indicative of a medium hydrophobic character su
