Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and to a lesser extent differential thermal analysis
(DTA), are powerful yet relatively rapid and inexpensive thermodynamic techniques for …

Biological membranes are complex assemblies of lipid and protein molecules. One of the
central features of these highly organized systems is the absence of covalent linkages …

Thomas A. Brasitus and David Schachter* abstract: Rat intestinal basolateral membranes
undergo a reversible lipid thermotropic transition previously characterized by differential …

The synthesis and properties of a set of four fluorescent probes (n-(9-anthroyloxy) fatty acids,
n= 2, 6, 9, 12) sensitive to the fluidity gradient of the lipid bilayer are described. Flurorescent …

In the companion paper, I have reviewed the techniques employed for assessment of the
asymmetric distribution and orientation of membrane proteins. This article deals with …

Partition and localization of C60 and its derivative C60 (OH) 18–22 in lipid membranes and
their impact on mitochondrial activity were studied, attempting to correlate those events with …

In orderto develop new molecules as functional components of monolayerassemblies a
series of nine surface-active azo and stilbene compounds are synthesized. Their monolayer …

The intrinsic fluorescence of tocopherol homologues with hydrocarbon chains ranging from
1 carbon (C1) to 16 carbons (α‐tocopherol, C16) and their ability to quench the fluorescence …

The rotational behavior of a set of n-(9-anthroyloxy) fatty acid fluorescent probes is
examined in two liquid paraffins and in liposomes composed of dipalmitoyl …

The monolayer characteristics of a series of homologous hydroxyhexadecanoic acids have
been determined in order to obtain information on the effect of attaching a secondary …
