TLDR
Comparison of the monolayer and bulk methods showed that both techniques are complementary, and the pH dependence and calcium requirements of the enzymatic reaction are similar under monolayers and bulk conditions.

Biomolecular interactions at phospholipid-decorated surfaces of liquid crystals

TL;DR: These results provide principles for label-free monitoring of aqueous streams for molecular and biomolecular species without the need for complex instrumentation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Action of phospholipase A at interfaces.

TL;DR: A quantitative comparison between enzyme kinetics obtained by monolayer and bulk techniques is attempted using a common definition of the "quality" of the lipid-water interface, and the concept of a penetration site on the enzyme is discussed.

Enzyme reactions in a membrane model 1: A new technique to study enzyme reactions in monolayers

TL;DR: Enzymic hydrolysis by pancreatic phospholipase A of 3-sn-didodecanoyl phosphatidylglycerol was studied under constant surface pressure and the recorded kinetic plots are linear, in contrast to the non-linear kinetic plots obtained with the usual one-compartment trough.

Action de la lipase pancréatique sur les esters en émulsion

TL;DR: De considerer la lipase pancreatique comme une esterase particuliere destinee a agir sur des esters insolubles au niveau of l'interface separant ces esters de l'eau, un calcul fait intervenir the “concentration molaire interfaciale” du substrat.

Monolayer characteristics of saturated 1,2-diacyl phosphatidylcholines (lecithins) and phosphatidylethanolamines at the air-water interface

TL;DR: The lecithins formed more expanded films than the phosphatidylethanolamines and this is interpreted in terms of differences in the size and orientation of the polar groups and this transition occuring in the bimolecular lamellae in water corresponds to the transition from condensed to expanded monolayer.

The substrate specificity of phospholipase a.

TL;DR: Investigations on variously modified analogues of phospholipids elucidated the following substrate characteristics forospholipase A (Crotalus adamanteus): l-α-Lecithins containing fatty acids with greatly varying chain length are susceptible to phospholIPase A action; however, certain water-soluble short-chain compounds are hydrolysed at a very slow rate only.

Synthesis of lecithins by acylation of O-(sn-glycero-3-phosphoryl) choline with fatty acid anhydrides

TL;DR: A new method has been developed for the partial synthesis of saturated, unsaturated and mixed-acid lecithins using the free O-(sn-glycero-3-phosphoryl) choline and its CdCl2 complex as starting materials.
