[Relation between the capacitance and electric conductivity of cholesterol bilayer membranes]. 1986

A M Omel'chenko, and B A Bovykin

Measuring of capacitance and electroconductance of cholesterol bilayers was carried out simultaneously at difference concentration of detergents in electrolyte. A correlation between magnitudes of conductance and capacitance was shown. The most stable bilayers have minimal conductance and maximal capacitance. The stable bilayers are supposed to be formed from equimolecular complexes cholesterol/detergents. The existence of structural reorganization in bilayers brings about a decrease of capacitance and increase of electro-conductance.
