Abstract
Mixing of an aqueous bilayer of an artificial nonionic lipid bearing a poly(ethylene glycol) as the hydrophilic head group with alpha-cyclod extrin(alpha-CD) was found to produce a stable crystalline inclusion c omplex which possessed the fundamental bilayer characteristic (phase t ransition) for the first time. H-1-NMR spectra of the complex showed t hat 2.2 +/- 0.1 ethylene glycol units in the lipid were captured in on e alpha-CD molecule.
