Abstract
Lysolecithin and lecithin can be expected to occur together in biological systems—aggregates formed by mixed lysolecithin-lecithin sols were found to have a molecular weight of nearly 1.5 million and to be unsymmetrical, probably closest to a rod shape of length 1,500 Å. The particles were thought to be mixed micelles and not solubilised lecithin within the micelles of the highly surface-active lysolecithin according to the classical Hartley concept.Keywords
