Proposed mechanism of ChT rescue. The surfactants with thiol 5 and alcohol 6 at their terminals have the ability to elict ChT release by interaction and/or partial displacement of the anionic monolayer. C11 alkane 4 forms a bilayer-like structure, causing release of the ChT (red = anionic; blue = cationic) (reproduced with permission from [26] © 2003, American Chemical Society).
