Abstract
A system is proposed for a quantitative classification of lipids, based on interphase partition coefficients. This system enables calculation of exchanges of lipid molecules between phases. The mass/volume chemical unit mol X cm-3, strictly derived from the CGS system, is used, thus simplifying mathematical relations. Applied to bile salt-lecithin-cholesterol mixed micelles, this dynamic concept gives new insight into the variations of physico-chemical parameters. Experimental results obtained with the glycodesoxycholate and the taurocholate show a striking difference in partition coefficients between aqueous and mixed bile salt-lecithin interfacial phases. A new model applying triangular co-ordinates to a bile salt-lecithin-cholesterol mixed lipid phase is described.
