... heads / hydrophobic tails is to form micelles, because this is the simplest structure that maximizes hydrophobic/philic interaction. In phospholipids, however, the hydrophobic tails have a greater cross-sectional area than the heads, and so they cannot form stable micelles - in other words, ...

Hey guys, I'm not sure where else to put this...doesn't seem to fit anywhere else. But if you have a lipid sample in a cuvette, I know that changing the concentration will affect the absorbance readings. But what about particle size? For example, I was working with two different ...

... interface. It is an ancient, several billion years ago the development of brilliant engineering. Engineers - "active models the situation in lipid membranes". Thus, the question of the origin of life, it is a question of the origin of those ancient membrane-engineers! https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=364404846962684&set=a.364404780296024.79961.100001795141602&type=1&theater
