Abstract

The first synthetic model for competitive exchange of an organic compound, specifically the exchange of triaminopyrimidine (TAP) between barbituric acid/TAP aggregates in water and highly ordered monolayers of a barbituric acid lipid, were studied by IR and UV/Vis spectroscopy. Similar competitive interaction are important in membranes and cell biology.
