Abstract
Membranal stability, microviscosity (η̄) and bulk lipid phase state may be controlled by Ca2+. All negatively charged phospholipids (PL’s) such as phosphatidylinositol or phosphatidylserine, by virtue of electrostatic crosslinking with the \( ^ - {\text{O - }}\mathop {\text{P}}\limits_|^| - OH \) section of the headgroup induce physiologically meaningful structural rearrangements in membranal architecture.
