Reply to the comment on 'interfacial lateral electrical conductance on lipid monolayers: Dose-dependent converse effect of alcohols'

Article Abstract:

The assumption that partition of alcohol into the monolayer increases with the elongation of the hydrocarbon tail is discussed. The basic mechanism for the increase in the conductance depends on the hydrogen-bond breaking activity of alcohols to increase the probability of the collision between the phosphate moieties.

Effects of water-soluble alcohols on the surface conductance of lipid monolayers: Bimodal action

Article Abstract:

The effects of 1-propanol on the electrical conductance of surface monolayers of stearic, elaidic, and oleic acids were estimated. The results suggests that alcohol effects on the surface electrical conductance depend strongly on the packing of the monolayers, therefore it is affected by changes in the alkyl tails.
