Myelin basic protein ability to organize lipid bilayers: structural transition in bilayers of lysophosphatidylcholine micelles.
Myelin basic protein isolated by a single step with the cationic detergent cethyltrimethylammonium bromide in a lipid-bound form is able to induce structural transition of lysophosphatydilcholine micelles into multi-laminar vesicles. This finding, observed through electron microscopy, is discussed in the light of the assumed ability of the basic protein to organize myelin lipids.
