| Comments |
p.4220 right column 3rd paragraph: "Surface diffusivity measurements of fluorescent membrane probes
can be used to estimate the surface shear viscosity of lipids in the
liquid state the results are on the order of 10^-6-10^-5 dyn×s/cm [primary sources]. On the other hand, dynamic deformations of cell-size vesicles provide extremely useful methods for study of bilayer yield and flow in the frozen (solid) state. Here, the shear viscosity is so large that measurements of probe diffusivity become unreliable." |
