Ion-channel-like behavior in lipid bilayer membranes at the melting transition
Jill Gallaher, Katarzyna Wodzinska, Thomas Heimburg +1
It is well known that at the gel-liquid phase transition temperature a lipid bilayer membrane exhibits an increased ion permeability. We analyze the quantized currents in which the…
The thermodynamics of lipid ion channel formation in the absence and presence of anesthetics. BLM experiments and simulations
Katarzyna Wodzinska, Andreas Blicher, Thomas Heimburg
It is known that lipid membranes become permeable in their melting regime. In microscopic conductance measurements on black lipid membranes one finds that conduction takes place vi…
The temperature dependence of lipid membrane permeability, its quantized nature, and the influence of anesthetics
Andreas Blicher, Katarzyna Wodzinska, Matthias Fidorra +2
We investigate the permeability of lipid membranes for fluorescence dyes and ions. We find that permeability reaches a maximum close to the chain melting transition of the membrane…
