Analytical Ultracentrifugation Density Gradient formed from various solutes:
‘40s ‘50s RAFT MODEL Current day ‘70s
The hydrophobic effect: Transfer from water to alcohol
MLVs unilamellar vesicles SUVs Multilamellar vesicles
Liposomes as Membrane Mimetics 50nm 500nm 5000nm As vesicles get smaller, they tumble more quickly, have a higher surface curvature, less interior volume, are less thermodynamically stable, and less symmetry in lipid distribution
