"in vitro spherical
thin lipid membranes were made from the total lipid extracts, as well as
from each of the major lipid constituents - phosphatidyl choline, phosphatidyl
ethanolamine, sphingomyelin, and cholesterol-of human red cell membranes.
All of these membrane preparations underwent a thinning process
lasting about 10 to 20 min as revealed by interference colors typical of
white light reflected from a thin film, followed by a rapid blackening in
spots at first and then ultimately of the entire free surface. The preparations
withstood gentle stirring and were stable for 1 to 2 hr." |
| Comments |
"The DC resistance
of these preparations was initially relatively low, then increased gradually
with time reaching a stable value of 0.1 to 1.5x10^8?xcm^2 at about 20 min.
The capacitance of the membranes at the completion of the blackening was measured to be 0.3 to 0.9µF/cm^2. Both the conductance and the
capacitance were increased linearly as the membrane area was increased.
All of these findings agree closely with those reported by others for other
bimolecular lipid membranes (Tien & Diana, 1968)." |
