MEMBRANE LIPID PHASE SEPARATIONS AT LOW TEMPERATURE.

Author(s) : QUINN P. J.

Summary

THE AUTHOR EXAMINES HOW THE INTERACTION OF LIPIDS WITH OTHER MEMBRANE COMPONENTS AND WITH THE AQUEOUS ENVIRONMENT AFFECTS MEMBRANE PHASE PROPERTIES AND STABILITY WHEN CELLS ARE SUBJECTED TO TEMPERATURES BELOW THE GROWTH TEMPERATURE. HE FINDS THAT SUPPLEMENTINGBIOLOGICAL HOMEOSTATIC PROCESSES MAY REPRESENT A NEW APPROACH TO THE REPAIR AND REVERSAL OF MEMBRANE LESIONS RESULTING FROM EXPOSURE OF BIOLOGICAL MEMBRANES TO LOW TEMPERATURES.
