Acoustic devices are sensitive to the mole fraction of cholesterol present in liposomes adsorbed to the device surface as a result of the different mechanical properties of the liposomes. This fact was exploited to develop an acoustic assay to determine

In recent years, both classification models and quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) have been developed to discriminate the acute toxicity of polar narcotics and uncouplers. One of fundamental issues is how to select and interpret the molecular descriptors used in both

There is considerable interest in the use of perfluorocarbons as oxygen carriers in clinical settings; however, little is known regarding the molecular interactions made by these apolar compounds with biological membranes or their effect on membrane structure. NMR spectroscopy was
The activation of protein kinase C alpha was studied by using a lipid system consisting of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC)/1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoserine (POPS) (molar ratio 4:1) and different proportions of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycerol (POG). The phase behavior of the lipidic system was characterized by using differential

The ozonolysis of an approximately one monolayer film of 1-oleoyl-2-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (OPPC) on NaCl was followed in real time using diffuse reflection infrared Fourier transform spectrometry (DRIFTS) at 23 degrees C. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry and Auger electron spectroscopy
