The Interfacial Tension of the Lipid Membrane Formed from Lipid–Amino Acid Systems

The interfacial tension of lipid membranes composed of phosphatidylcholine (lecithin, PC)–valine (Val), phosphatidylcholine–isoleucine (Ile), phosphatidylcholine–tyrosine (Tyr), and phosphatidylcholine–phenylalanine (Phe) has been studied. The membrane components formed 1:1 complexes. The interfacia...

Sumario:The interfacial tension of lipid membranes composed of phosphatidylcholine (lecithin, PC)–valine (Val), phosphatidylcholine–isoleucine (Ile), phosphatidylcholine–tyrosine (Tyr), and phosphatidylcholine–phenylalanine (Phe) has been studied. The membrane components formed 1:1 complexes. The interfacial tension measurements were used to determine the membrane surface concentration A (3)(−1), the membrane interfacial tension γ(3), and the stability constant K.
