ABSTRACT
Flat bilayer lipid membranes (BLM) were obtained from cholesterol solution in n-octane in the presence of detergents of alkyltrimethyl ammonium bromides series in water medium. It has been shown that highly stable BLM are obtained only for the detergents of this series with the alkyl chain higher than C12. Changes in stability and electromechanical strength of the latter are conditioned by the peculiarities of stechiometric interaction between the molecules of cholesterol, detergent and solvent in the lipid bilayer.
