Primary source abstract:"Diffusion of (14)C-labeled CO(2) was measured through lipid bilayer membranes composed of egg lecithin and cholesterol (1:1 mol ratio) dissolved in n-decane." |
| Comments |
Note: ref gives 3,500±400µm/sec however primary source p.787 2nd paragraph gives 350±40µm/sec (an order of magnitude lower). This permeability coefficient is similar to that estimated for the red cell membrane |
