 | Hazard Information | Back Directory |  | [Uses] 
 4ME 16:0 PC is suitable for use:
 
 to study its phase behaviour and its interactions with the representative antimicrobial peptide PGLa from Xenopus laevis (peptidyl-glycylleucine-carboxyamideto improve the mechanical stability of planar lipid bilayer membraneto prepare giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs)
 
 |  | [Biological Activity] 
 4ME 16:0 PC/DPhPC (1,2-diphytanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine can be used as a bilayer mimic for electrophysiological measurements. It is stable under mechanical stress but the ester linkages are liable to hydrolysis under acidic or alkaline conditions.
