learning so much more than I ever cared to know about surfactants and solubilizing amphoteric lipophiles for insertion into cell membranes.
#blog#stem#did u kno the order of irritation/disruptiveness to cell membranes from least to most goes nonionic then amphoteric then anionic then catio#did u kno that lipophilicity is quantified by things like the octanol water partition coefficient n hlb (hydrophilic/lipophilic balance)#did u know to solubilize a hydrophobe w a surfactant u have to have a conc. of surfactant above its critical micellar concentration#did u know its mad hard to find the conc. that will solubilize ur shit but not kill ur cells
