Effect of glycerol on the molecular properties of cerebrosides, sulphatides and gangliosides in monolayers.

Abstract

The presence of glycerol, free from surface-active impurities, modifies the molecular area, surface potential/molecule and thermodynamic parameters of compression of monolayers of galactosylceramide, sulphatide and gangliosides GM1, GD1a and GT1b. This may be due to changes of the composition and structural properties of the glycosphingolipid solvation shell with an influence on the intermolecular organization.
