Structural and functional diversity of artificial membranes based on cationic lipodipeptides

Biochemistry (Moscow) Supplement Series A: Membrane and Cell Biology Aims and scope

Abstract

Membrane-forming properties of cationic amphiphiles based on lipodipeptides were studied with special reference to resistance of amphiphilic dispersions (pure amphiphil and amphiphil/cholesterol mixtures) to a destabilizing factor (ethanol). Values of critical micelle concentrations and phase transition temperatures were determined and microphotographs of lipid dispersions and lipid-DNA complexes in aqueous environment were obtained.
