Ionic Permeability of Thin Lipid Membranes : Effects of n-alkyl alcohols, polyvalent cations, and a secondary amine
Ultrathin (black) lipid membranes were made from sheep red cell lipids dissolved in n-decane. The presence of aliphatic alcohols in the aqueous solutions bathing these membranes produced reversible changes in the ionic permeability, but not the osomotic permeability. Heptanol (8 mM), for example, c...
