Abstract:
Half the lipids of myelin which belong to the cation‐insensitive complexes (i. e. 25% of the total lipids) are sensitive to anions and can be extracted by water after treatment with KCNS or Kl. Thin layer chromatography findings indicate that the cation‐insensitive complexes do not differ in lipid‐composition from the cation‐sensitive complexes. Histochemical findings indicate that the highly lyotropic anions inhibit the same enzymatic activities as the feebly lyotropic cation Ca. The implications of these findings on the structure of myelin and of cell membranes is discussed. The data are considered to fit best the concept of a plasma membrane in which one surface contains mainly anionic fixed groups and the other surface cationic groups.
