TLDR
Analysis of existing data suggests that within experimental error both these distinctively different approaches are valid, indicating that the critical effective ratio at which solubilization occurs is approximately equal to the product of the critical micelle concentration and the distribution coefficient K.

Surface active drugs: self-association and interaction with membranes and surfactants. Physicochemical and biological aspects

TL;DR: This review focuses on the self-aggregation properties of drugs, as well as on their interaction with membranes, and it is seen that drug-membrane interactions are analogous to the interactions between membranes and classical detergents.

Detergent-resistant membranes should not be identified with membrane rafts

TL;DR: T theoretical and experimental findings provide strong evidence against identifying DRMs with rafts and lo domains, and functional domains in biological membranes might differ markedly from the generally accepted picture.

Reconstitution of membrane proteins into liposomes.

TL;DR: This chapter deals with the various strategies commonly used to reconstitute proteoliposomes and focuses on approaches that have led to the production of highly functional proteolIPosomes.

The structure of micelles and microemulsions

TL;DR: In this paper, the basic general constraints controlling surfactant aggregation and the formation of interfaces are summarized and related to interfacial film properties and the intermolecular interactions inside them.

Solubilization of membranes by detergents

TL;DR: This review focuses on work that deals with the mechanisms of detergent action in membrane solubilization including properties of detergents model lipid systems and detergent-protein interactions; in addition a possible sequence of events when deterGents interact with biological membranes receives attention.

Solubilization of phospholipids by detergents. Structural and kinetic aspects.

TL;DR: The information available to date on the solubilization of phospholipids, which constitute the lipid skeleton of biomembranes, by the common detergents is discussed in this review, both with respect to the kinetics of this process and the structure of the variousospholipid-detergent mixed micelles formed.
