title: Complex formation equilibria in two-component bilayer lipid membrane: interfacial tension method.
abstract: We measured the interfacial tension of lipid membranes composed of ceramide-cholesterol, ceramide-sphingomyelin, and sphingomyelin-cholesterol. The membrane components formed 1:1 complexes. Interfacial tension measurements were used to determine the membrane surface concentration A(3)(-1) , the membrane interfacial tension gamma(3), and the stability constant K.
