Abstract: | It is shown by 31P-NMR and electron microscopy that gramicidin promotes the formation of the hexogonal HII phase in aqueous dispersions of dielaidoylphosphatidylethanolamine and dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine, when present in molar ratios of 1 : 200 and higher. In addition gramicidin also induces the hexogonal HII phase in aqueous dispersions of dioleoylphosphatidylcholine, when present in molar ratios of 1 : 25 and higher. |
