Structural effects of neutral lipids on the divalent cation-induced interactions of phosphatidylserine - containing bilayers [PDF]
, 1988 As Ca2+ and phosphatidylserine (PS) are known to induce the adhesion of bilayer vesicles and form collapsed multibilayer structures in vitro, it was the aim of this study to examine how that interaction and the resultant structures might be modified by
