Ion Permeability of Phospholipid Bilayers
@article{Hauser1972IonPO, title={Ion Permeability of Phospholipid Bilayers}, author={Helmut Hauser and Michael C. Phillips and Morris Stubbs}, journal={Nature}, year={1972}, volume={239}, pages={342-344} }
PHOSPHOLIPID bilayers are an important part of biological membranes1,2 and consequently their physicochemical properties have been the subject of intense investigation. There has been much discussion about how similar the properties of phospholipid bilayers are to those of membranes3–5. Because of the importance of ion transport across membranes (such as in action potentials), the question of the similarities of the intrinsic ion permeability and conductance has been raised. However, reliable…

Chloride flux in bilayer membranes: chloride permeability in aqueous dispersions of single-walled, bilayer vesicles.
- BiologyBiochemistry
- 1975
Aqueous dispersions of phosphatidylcholine vesicles were utilized to determine bilayer permeability to 36-Cl as a function of pH and temperature, leading to the conclusion that 36- Cl permeation in the presence of KCl is due principally to a carrier mediated exchange process involving a phospholipid-HCL complex.

An interesting, hitherto neglected model for the study of ion transport is the mesomorphic lipid-water phase, which permits thestudy of the diffusion of ions through an aqueous region organised arnund polar groups.
Characterization of H+/OH− currents in phospholipid vesicles
- BiologyJournal of bioenergetics and biomembranes
- 1987
In pure phospholipid vesicle systems the H+/OH− current shows a surprising invariance to changes in the membrane dipole potential, an observation that argues against the role of simple carriers for H+ and OH− ions.
Electrically silent anion transport through lipid bilayer membranes containing a long-chain secondary amine
- BiologyThe Journal of general physiology

The permeability properties of planar lipid bilayers made from egg lecithin, n-decane and a long-chain secondary amine (n-lauryl [trialkylmethyl]amine) are described and resemble in many respects the permeable properties of red cell membranes.

This hypothesis is applied to the phenomena of subthreshold activity, accomodation and oscillatory behaviour and it is suggested that both permeability changes vary with membrane potential in a graded but reversible manner.
