Über den Einfluß langkettiger ungesättigter Fettsäurereste auf die Kinkenbildung in Membranmodellen / Influence of Unsaturated Long Chain Compounds on Kink Formation in Membrane Models

Abstract

In connection with the permeation theory of Träuble, in which kinks are considered as carriers through lipid layers of membranes, the influence of unsaturated long chain compounds on the kink structure is studied in membrane models. Unsaturated compounds in bimolecular films of saturated long chain compounds lead to higher kink concentrations and favor the random distribution of the kinks.
