Abstract
Results obtained in flocculation and conductivity studies with sols of lecithin and lysolecithin and solutions of calcium and potassium chlorides are reported. Calcium chloride interacts with lecithin, the extent of interaction depending upon the method of preparation of the lecithin sol. Potassium chloride does not interact with lecithin. These results may explain why potassium ions can be transported across a cell membrane whilst calcium ions cannot.
