title: [Polymyxin B and Ca(2+) induce conductance fluctuations in the dipalmitoyl phosphatidic acid bilayer lipid membrane].
abstract: Polymyxin B in micromolar concentrations induces current fluctuations in liquid crystalline bilayer lipid membranes from dipalmitoylphosphatidic acid identified as ion channels. The appearance of ion channels correlates with phase separation of the lipid in the presence of peptide polycations detected by differential scanning calorimetry. Ca2+ also induces the formation of ion channels in liquid crystalline bilayer lipid membranes from dipalmitoylphosphatidic acid followed by the phase transition of the phospholipid. The capacitive current, which indicates the possibility of structural transformations of bilayer-non-bilayer type (hexagonal phase II), precedes the formation of Ca(2+)-induced channels in bilayer lipid membranes from dipalmitoylphosphatidic acid.
