Optical changes in unilamellar vesicles experiencing osmotic stress
Abstract
Membrane properties that vary as a result of isotropic and transmembrane osmolality variations (osmotic stress) are of considerable relevance to mechanisms such as osmoregulation, in which a biological system "senses" and responds to changes in the osmotic environment. In this paper the light-scattering behavior of a model system consisting of large unilamellar vesicles of dioleoyl phosphatidyl glycerol (DOPG) is examined as a function of their …
