The dependence of electrophoretic mobility of multilamellar liposomes composed of egg phosphatidylcholine (PtdCho), dimyristoyl-glycerophosphocholine (Myr2Gro-P-Cho) and dipalmitoyl-glycerophosphocholine (Pam2-Gro-P-Cho) on the concentration of several cations and anions has been measured. Values of surface densities of binding sites and intrinsic binding constants of ions to liposome membranes were determined by processing the results in the framework of Gouy-Stern theory. Sharp reductions in the positive surface potential of Myr2Gro-P-Cho and Pam2Gro-P-Cho liposomes have been detected at the thermotropic transition of the lipids from the gel to liquid-crystalline phase. Similar alterations of liposome surface potential were revealed at the temperature of pretransition, as well as at about 50 degrees C, in the case of Pam2Gro-P-Cho. A model is suggested for ion binding to PtdCho membranes, according to which the ion-binding sites are considered as point defects (vacancies) in the structure of lipid head-groups arranged over a trigonal lattice.
