  • Title: Diffusion within egg lecithin bilayers resembles that within soft polymers.
    Author: Wolosin JM, Ginsburg H, Lieb WR, Stein WD.
    Journal: J Gen Physiol; 1978 Jan; 71(1):93-100. PubMed ID: 621494.
    Abstract:
    An analysis is presented of how the permeability coefficient/octanol:water partition coefficient ratio for 33 different chemical substances crossing egg lecithin bilayers depends on the molecular volume of the substances. From this analysis we conclude that bilayers made from egg lecithin behave as soft polymers in their discrimination between permeants of different sizes and shapes.
