(adapted from Ribeiro et al. 2007) Water permeability of vesicles made of geranylgeranyl phosphate alone or with 10 mol% of polyprenols, measured at 15.0 ± 0.1 °C in a stopped-flow/light scattering apparatus
| Lipid composition of vesicles | Vesicle diameter a (nm) | t1/2 b (ms) |
|---|---|---|
| Geranylgeranyl phosphate (GGP) | 180 ± 16 | 20 ± 1 |
| GGP + 10 mol% phytol | 165 ± 24 | 234 ± 7 |
| GGP + 10 mol% tricyclohexaprenol | 170 ± 39 | 250 ± 20 |
| GGP + 10 mol% cholesterol | 162 ± 35 | 193 ± 8 |
aAverage diameter ± standard deviation (evaluated by photon correlation spectroscopy)
bAverage t1/2 ± standard deviation. t ½: reaction half-time
