Fig. 8 Capillary EKC separations of (A) acetophenone (1), propiophenone (2), butyrophenone (3), valerophenone (4), and hexanophenone (5) on vesicles composed of sodium dodecylsulfate and ra-dodecyltrimethylammoniumbromide at pH 7.2, (B,C) of 1-dehydroaldosterone (1), cortisone (2), cortisol (3), 21-deoxycortisol (4), 11-deoxycortisol (5), and dexamethasone (6) on liposomes composed of 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sra-glycero-3-phosphocholine (80%) and (B) phosphatidylserine or (C) car-diolipin at pH 9, lipid concentrations (B) 2.4 mM and 0.6 mM, (C) 3.6 and 0.9 mM.

Answer Mild hydrolysis cleaves the ester linkages between glycerol and fatty acids, forming (a) glycerol and the sodium salts of palmitic and stearic acids (b) D-glycerol 3-phosphocholine and the sodium salts of palmitic and oleic acids. 

In contrast with phospholipid vesicles, the oleic acid-oleate vesicle system is characterized by a relatively high monomer solubility. The critical sodium oleate concentration for micelle formation (cmc) at about pH 10.5 is in the range 0.7-1.4mM [10] it has been reported that the monomer solubility at pH 7.4 is around 10-20 pM [11]. (For comparison, the monomer concentration of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-5n-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) is known to be aroimd 10 M [12].) Due to the relatively high monomer concentration, several physicochemical properties of oleic acid-oleate vesicles are different from vesicles made from phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholines. The kinetics of lipid exchange is expected to be faster in the...
