Neutron Small-Angle Scattering from Single-Walled Liposomes of Egg Phosphatidylcholine

Shigehiro Komura, Yoshinori Toyoshima and Takayoshi Takeda

(Received April 26, 1982; accepted for publication June 19, 1982)

Neutron small-angle scattering from single-walled liposomes of egg phosphatidylcholine in D₂O solution has been measured in order to determine the geometry of the sonicated small liposomes. The results show that the inner and outer radii or the liposomes are 60 and 100 Å, respectively, and that the statistical deviation or the radius amounts to 20% of the average value of the outer radius.
