The effects of pressure on the molecular structure and physiological functions of cell membranes
TL;DR: It is shown that a full interpretation of the kinetic effects of pressure on these processes requires much more detailed molecular information than is available at present.

High-Sensitivity Differential Scanning Calorimetry in the Study of Biomembranes and Related Model Systems
TL;DR: Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) has been widely used in biological membranes and related systems as mentioned in this paper, with particular reference to the one designed by Privalov.

Dilatometry of dipalmitoyllecithin-cholesterol bilayers
TL;DR: The interactions of cholesterol and dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine in bilayers were investigated by differential scanning dilatometry and related techniques, allowing construction of a three-dimensional surface with dimensions of mole fraction of cholesterol, temperature, and apparent partial specific volume.

Lipid Phase Transitions and Regulation of Membrane Fluidity in Prokaryotes
TL;DR: The functions of the membrane bilayer as acceptors and sinks are interrelated; and the two functions provide a sensitive, unified means to control the fatty acid composition and hence the physical state of biological membranes.

On bimolecular layers of lipoids on the chromocytes of the blood.
E. Gorter,F. Grendel +1 more
TL;DR: The blood of man and of the rabbit, dog, guinea pig, sheep, and goat is examined, and all results fit in well with the supposition that the chromocytes are covered by a layer of fatty substances that is two molecules thick.

A calorimetric and fluorescent probe study of the gel-liquid crystalline phase transition in small, single-lamellar dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles.
TL;DR: An experimentally testable thermodynamic and kinetic model based upon the results of a calorimetric and fluorescent probe study of the thermotropic behavior of various types of dispersions of dipalmitolphosphatidylcholine bilayer vesicles is developed.

Structure of biological membranes.
TL;DR: The combined x-ray diffraction and electron microscopic examination of myelin has provided reasonable, but not conclusive, support for its structure as a basically bimolecular leaflet of phospholipid that is partially interspersed with protein, but there is very little basis for extending this concept to biological membranes in general.
