pH-dependent vesicle-to-micelle transition in an aqueous mixture of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine and a hydrophobic polyelectrolyte
Abstract
The capacity to respond to chemical and physical stimuli is an essential characteristic of biological membranes. Intercellular communication and recognition, response to the binding of drugs and hormones, photoreception, and many other critical cellular functions are in fact membrane processes in biology and are subject to control as a result of the responsive nature of the bilayer membrane.
