On the Hypericin Interaction with the Artificial Lipid Membrane in the Presence of Lyotropic Anions
نویسنده
چکیده
The modifications induced by hypericin on the electric properties of the artificial lipid bilayers suggest that it has apparent stabilizing effects on the membrane against strong chaotropic anions. We imply that this is due to the interference of hypericin’s insertion into the bilayers with the mechanisms by which the lyotropic anions alter the electrical surroundings of the bilayer and/or the intrinsic membrane dipole potential.

Interaction of cationic phosphorus dendrimers with lipid membranes
Large unilamellar liposomes and multilamellar vesicles consisting of DMPC interacted with cationic phosphorus-containing dendrimers CPDs G3 and G4. DSC and ζ -potential measurements have shown that liposomal-dendrimeric molecular recognition occurs due to the interaction between the complementary surface groups. Calorimetric studies indicate that the enthalpy of the transition of the lipids tha...
