Water Permeability of Asymmetric Planar Lipid Bilayers: Leaflets of Different Composition Offer Independent and Additive Resistances to Permeation
To understand how plasma membranes may limit water flux, we have modeled the apical membrane of MDCK type 1 cells. Previous experiments demonstrated that liposomes designed to mimic the inner and outer leaflet of this membrane exhibited 18-fold lower water permeation for outer leaflet lipids than in...
