Abstract
Small organic molecules are known to exhibit a wide spectrum of physiological or pharmacological effects and many of them are thought to be membrane associated. Therefore a great number of studies is devoted to the interaction between these molecules and phospholipid model membranes. Results obtained for molecular species of varying hydrophobic/hydrophilic balances will be described. It will be shown that, in general, these different molecules induce similar effects on phospholipid phase transitions, although they are located differently in the membrane. Detailed studies of these interactions will help to understand these processes on a molecular level.
