Interactions of acyl carnitines with model membranes

Esterification of fatty acids with the small polar molecule carnitine is a required step for the regulated flow of fatty acids into mitochondrial inner matrix. We have studied the interactions of acyl carnitines (ACs) with model membranes [egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (PC) vesicles] by 13C-nuclear m...
