A method for the determination of the filtration coefficient for spherical bilayers prepared from bulk erythrocyte membrane lipids.
Water transport through spherical lipid bilayers consisting of bovine red cell lipids has been studied. A new experimental method for the determination of volume flow induced by concentration gradient is described. Changes of the filtration coefficient indicate phase transition in membrane lipid taking place at 33-36 degrees C.
