Abstract
⺠Effect of cations and polycations on the formation of hybrid bilayer membranes. ⺠In the presence of cations the complete formation of an HBM is facilitated. ⺠The required time for lipid layer formation is reduced several times. ⺠Spermine and Ca2+ increase the amount of adsorbed phospholipids, compared to Na+. ⺠Mechanism of HBM formation is related with destabilization of hydration forces in the vesicle surface.
