Role of Leaflet Asymmetry in the Permeability of Model Biological Membranes to Protons, Solutes, and Gases
Bilayer asymmetry in the apical membrane may be important to the barrier function exhibited by epithelia in the stomach, kidney, and bladder. Previously, we showed that reduced fluidity of a single bilayer leaflet reduced water permeability of the bilayer, and in this study we examine the effect of...
