title: Temperature dependent ionic structure of phospholipid monolayers.
abstract: Radiotracer studies of calcium adsorption to dipalmitoylphosphatidyl-alkanolamine monolayers measured at various temperatures showed that the binding constant of calcium increased with temperature up to around 30 degrees C but the decreased on exceeding this critical temperature. The temperature dependent ionic structure of ampholytic phospholipid monolayers are discussed.
