Abstract
In this project, we intend to study the action of vancomycin with Langmuir films of phospholipids, which serve as simple models of cell membranes. The phospholipids to be used will be dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and dipalmitoyl phosphatidyl ethanolamine (DPPE), co-mixed with the bioactive. The interaction of vancomycin with the phospholipid monolayers will be evaluated by means…
