Pulmonary surfactant contains two families of hydrophobic proteins, SP-B and SP-C. Both
proteins are thought to promote the formation of the phospholipid monolayer at the air/fluid …

The lung surfactant proteins SP-B and SP-C are pivotal for fast and reversible lipid insertion
at the air/liquid interface, a prerequisite for functional lung activity. We used a model system …
