| Method |
"Bimolecular lipid membranes have been prepared from total phospholipid
extracts of human red cells. The electrical properties and water permeability of these
membranes were similar to values reported earlier for other bilayer membranes." |
| Comments |
"The urea permeability coefficient was 5.7X10^-7 cm/sec...Urea permeability of 1O membranes was estimated with [14C]urea (50 mC/mmole). The low permeability required the use of high concentrations in the donor
chamber, usually about 5X10^7 counts/min per ml. k[urea] averaged 5.9X10^-7±0.3X10^-7cm/sec. Corresponding values reported for other bilayer membranes are 3X10^-6cm/sec [primary source 17] and 4.2X10^-6cm/sec [primary source 9]." |
