Micelles and Vesicles of Gangliosides

  • Conference paper
The Structure and Conformation of Amphiphilic Membranes

Part of the book series: Springer Proceedings in Physics ((SPPHY,volume 66))

Abstract

Aggregation properties of various gangliosides into micelles and vesicles are described. Vesicles form spontaneously in solution and are in thermodynamic equilibrium with a small concentration of a lamellar phase. Vesicles seem to have small bending elasticity, of the order of kT.
