Figure showing the change in current 900 s after
exposure to SDS,
CTAB, and ORB dissolved in ECS. SDS and ORB induce increased membrane
permeability at 0.2 mM, respectively, while CTAB and ORB induce membrane
permeability at 0.01 and 0.014 mM, respectively. CTAB induces permeability
at concentrations 20 times less than SDS and 14 times less than ORB.
The relative activity of SDS:CTAB:ORB is thus 1:20:14 as measured
by this method.
