Interaction of glycosphingolipids with melittin and myelin basis protein in monolayers.

PMCID: PMC1162644  PMID: 6171252

Abstract

The penetration of melittin and myelin basic protein into glycosphingolipid monolayers depends on the lipid polar head group, the protein concentration available and the initial surface pressure. The lipid-protein interaction leads to modification of the surface properties of both the glycosphingolipid and the proteins.
