Those interested in molecular interactions in biological membranes are in a very fortunate
position, since a convenient and relevant model system is readily available--the lipid bilayer …

The lipid composition of biological membranes is complex, and it is an article of faith
amongst membranologists that this complexity serves a purpose. Quite what the purpose is …

Fortunately, the day when it was necessary to argue the biological relevance of fundamental
physical and chemical studies on pure syn thetic lipid bilayers is past, and space will not be …

The interactions of a series of alcohols, acids and quaternary ammonium salts with a
phosphatidylcholine-water model biomembrane (dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine) system …

The structural framework of biological membranes is composed, in the main, of polar lipids
and proteins. These materials also perform functional roles in various cellular events and …

Differential scanning calorimetry has been applied to the study of some simple model
biomembranes, ie lipid-water systems, and the endothermic phase transitions which they …

Experiments on the chain melting thermal transition in simple biological membranes are
briefly reviewed and shown to indicate that a microscopic order‐disorder model may be …

The phase transitions that take place in hydrated phospholipid dispersions are reviewed in
terms of the lyotropic and thermotropic mesomorphism. The thermodynamics of the phase …

One of the more resistant problems in structural biology has been to define the structure and
function of the liquid region of biological membranes. This is related to the fact that liquids …

Headgroup and soft core interactions are added to a lipid monolayer-bilayer model and the
surface pressure-area phase diagrams are calculated. The results show that quite small …
