Short-Chained Alcohols Make Membrane Surfaces Conducive for Melittin Action: Implication for the Physiological Role of Alcohols in Cells

Alcohols are a part of cellular metabolism, but their physiological roles are not well understood. We investigated the effects of short-chain alcohols on <i>Daphnia pulex</i> and model membranes mimicking the lipid composition of eukaryotic inner mitochondrial membranes. We also studied...
