title: [Characteristics of prostaglandin E1 interaction with components of biological membranes].
abstract: To estimate the connection between physico-chemical characteristics and biological activity of prostaglandins the interaction of prostaglandin E1 with biological membrane lipids was studied. It is shown that as a result of prostaglandin interaction with phosphatidylcholine a complex is formed that behaves as an individual component and occupies in the surface layer twice as large area than the complex with prostaglandin F2 alpha. The prostaglandin E1 film collapses earlier than F2 alpha. Both facts indicate that the first is more friable. A difference in morphology of prostaglandin monolayers was revealed by electron microscopy. When studying the catalytic activity of peroxidase incorporated in prostaglandin E1 and F2 alpha monolayers some differences were also revealed. In the second case oxidation with methylblue located under the monolayer proceeds more actively. The results obtained point to the connection between the regulatory function of prostaglandins and their chemical structure. Molecular rearrangements of the monolayer caused by prostaglandin incorporation were recorded.
