Acid-induced fusion of liposomes: studies with 2,3-seco-5α-cholestan-2,3-dioic acid
Abstract
The effect of 2,3-seco-5 alpha-cholestan-2,3-dioic acid on the bilayer to hexagonal phase transition temperature of dielaidoylphosphatidylethanolamine is markedly dependent on pH. Above pH 6.56, the 2,3-seco-5 alpha-cholestan-2,3-dioic acid raises the temperature of this transition, i.e., it stabilizes the bilayer phase. At pH 6.56 there is little effect of this sterol derivative on the bilayer to hexagonal phase transition temperature of …
