Bilayer membrane formation in the chenodeoxycholate, phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol solution.

H Igimi, K Murata

    Journal of Pharmacobio-Dynamics
    |April 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study describes bilayer membrane formation in cholesterol, phosphatidylcholine, and chenodeoxycholate solutions. Researchers hypothesize the transformation process from bilayer disks to multilamellar liposomes in artificial bile.
