Abstract
The anion transport properties of a range of alkyl-substituted phenylthioureas were tested in vesicles of different lipid composition. Although changes in the bilayer affected the rate of transport for all compounds in the series, the ‘ideal’ log P for peak activity did not change depending on the composition of the bilayers tested.Keywords
