Electron lipid vesicle wall

The efficiency of light-induced charge separation and electron-transport through the bilayer lipid walls have been examined recent-ly3.3 3.39 for a variety of redox systems in lipid vesicles. Of particular interest has been the redox reactions sensitized by porphyrins such as chlorophyll-a and derivatives of RuCbpy) ". Gratzel, Fendler and others have investigated recently electron-transfer and... 

The electron microscopic photograph (TEM) is shown in Fig. 5. The liposome-embedded heme was able to be prepared as a single-walled, unilameller liposome with the diameter of ca. 400 A (Fig. 5 a) or a multilamellar liposome with the diameter of ca. 700 A (Fig. 5 b). The lipid-heme is embedded in the lipid bilayer of the liposome, i.e., the white roop(s) of vesicle, and one liposome vesicle contains ca. 500 or 2,000 heme...
