Spin labels as probes for tetraphenylboron ion interaction with liposomes.
The effects of tetraphenylboron (TFB) on the molecular organization of lipids within phosphatidylcholine (PC) liposomes were investigated using the spin-labeled method. Perturbations at the surface of the lipid were probed using stearamide and cholestane spin labels; perturbations in the hydrophobic-portion were probed with spin-labeled amphiphilic fatty esters.
