Accessibility of Calcium Ions to Anionic Sites of Lipid Monolayers

Nature New Biology volume 239, pages 26–27 (1972)Cite this article

Abstract

ALTHOUGH the calcium ion is believed to play a functional role in various membrane phenomena such as nervous excitation, muscular contraction and cell permeation by interacting with the reactive sites of the membrane, little is known about the binding characteristics of calcium with the anionic sites of the well specified lipid membrane1,2.
