Fatty acids are rapidly delivered to and extracted from membranes by methyl-β-cyclodextrin

We performed detailed biophysical studies of transfer of long-chain fatty acids (FAs) from methyl-β-CD (MBCD) to model membranes (egg-PC vesicles) and cells and the extraction of FA from membranes by MBCD. We used i) fluorescein phosphatidylethanolamine to detect transfer of FA anions arriving in th...
