Abstract
A protoporphyrin IX derivative having three long alkyl chains and an a xial imidazole (lipidprotoporphyrin) was homogeneously embedded into t he bilayer membrane of the phospholipid vesicle. The O-2-binding affin ity of the lipid-protoheme was affected by the phase transition of the bilayer membrane, reflecting the change in the O-2-association rate c onstant.
