The physical parameters of liposomes from phosphatidylcholine with cho
lesterol or dicetylphosphate were investigated. The sizes, electrophor
etic mobility, surface density chorges of these liposomes were estimat
ed. It has been shown that dicetylphosphate, as well as cholesterol in
creases the thickness of bilayer of the lecithin liposomes and at the
same time the area occupied by one lipid molecule has not been changed
by dicetylphosphate in contrast to cholesterol.
