In studying the functions of phosphatides in biological membranes, investigations have
been made into monomolecular layers of synthetic phosphatides. Force‐area curves of …

The recent revival of interest in the molecular architecture and functioning of biological
membranes has greatly stimulated research on phospholipids. It has become clear that …

SNAKE venom phospholipase A was shown by de Haas and van Deenen to release the fatty
acid constituent present in the β-ester position of mixed-acid phospholipids obtained by a …

A low phosphatide content was found in primary hepatoma of rat when compared with normal
rat liver. Chromatographic analyses did not reveal, however, remarkable differences in the …

THE involvement of phospholipids in the adenosine triphosphatase activity of human erythrocytes
was demonstrated by Schatzmann 1 , who found that treatment with phospholipase C …

The TSH (thyrotrophic hormone) induced stimulation of the rate of incorporation of radioactive
phosphate into the phosphatides of the thyroid was studied in vitro. Since neither thyroid …

A study was made of the in vitro incorporation of radioactive phosphate into the phosphatides
of the benzpyrene sarcoma of the rat, of the Brown-Pearce carcinoma of rabbits, Ehrlich …

Because the barrier properties of biological membranes are provided by a lipid bilayer, it has
been useful to establish correlations between membrane characteristics and the chemical …

Dilauroyl-, dimyristoyl- and dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine liposomes were hydrolysed by
purified bee venom phospholipase A2 (PA2) below, at and above the temperature of …

The presence of striking similarities in osmotic properties between liposomes and biological
cells has stimulated researchers to use the liposomal system as an experimental model for …
