Interaction of Small Ionic Species With Phospholipid Membranes: The Role of Metal Coordination

In studies of the transfer, distribution and biochemical activity of metal ions it is typically assumed that the phospholipid bilayer acts as an inert barrier. Yet, there is mounting evidence that metal ions can influence the physical properties of membranes. Little is known of the basis of this eff...
