Effects of sodium salts of lyotropic anions on low-temperature, ordered lipid monolayers
(2012)Electrolytes are known to impart considerable disorder to lipid assemblies, including monolayers at the air-water interface, bilayers, and vesicles. In the present work, we have investigated the disordering effect of sodium ...

Liquid expanded monolayers of lipids as model systems to understand the anionic hofmeister series: 1. A tale of models
(2009)In this work, we use Langmuir monolayers of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) as model systems to enhance the understanding of specific anion effects in physicochemical and biological systems. The 298 K isotherms ...

Vibrational sum frequency generation spectroscopic investigation of the interaction of thiocyanate ions with zwitterionic phospholipid monolayers at the air-water interface
(2009)Thiocyanate (SCN-) is a highly chaotropic anion of considerable biological significance, which interacts quite strongly with lipid interfaces. In most cases it is not exactly known if this interaction involves direct binding ...
