Ultrasonic Measurement of Melittin-Liposome System
Japanese Journal of Applied Physics1988Vol. 27(S1), pp. 44–44
Abstract
The lysis of dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine liposomes by melittin, a bee venom of 26 amino acid residues, was studied by ultrasonic as well as optical measurements. The time course of the lysis indicates that the ultrasonic relaxation reflects the continuous lysis of lipid bilayers, whereas the sharp decrease of the optical absorbance at 350 nm is correlated with the end of the reaction.
