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.

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.

The characteristics of mixed micellar solutions with particular reference to bile

TL;DR: Lipids are classified into soluble and insoluble species and it is suggested, as far as is presently possible, how soluble lipids form mixed micelles with insoluble lipids.

The inhibition of arginase by amino acids

TL;DR: Investigating quantitatively the effect upon arginase activity of a fairly large series of amino acids and of some amino acid derivatives has proved to be not only of practical, but also of considerable theoretical interest.

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.

Studies on phospholipase A and its zymogen from porcine pancreas: III. Action of the enzyme on short-chain lecithins

TL;DR: In this paper, short-chain lecithins with C6, C7, and C8 fatty acid esters have been used to study kinetically the enzymatic hydrolysis by pancreatic phospholipase A (EC 3.4) in aqueous systems, without the addition of emulsifiers.
