title: Chlorofluorocarbon interaction with DPPC vesicles: an ESR investigation.
abstract: The effect of the chlorofluorocarbon halotane on DPPC unilamellar vesicles was investigated by Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. The X-band ESR spectra showed prominent thermotropic behaviour of the interfacial region of vesicles at different halotane concentrations. A model of molecular interaction between phospholipids and chlorofluorocarbon is also proposed.
