Distribution of mixtures of bile salt taurine conjugates between lecithin-cholesterol vesicles and aqueous media: an empirical model
Bile salts are surfactants that partition into phospholipid bilayers. When liposomes or membranes are exposed to mixed solutions of bile salts, the more hydrophobic bile salt species associate preferentially with the lipid bilayer. As a consequence, in the aqueous phase, the free monomeric concentra...
