Question

Who gave the dimensions to phospholipid bilayer in bio membrane and what was the dimensions???

Answer 1

Answer:

Early researchers studying cells recognized that there was a boundary layer, but little was known about its structure until, in the 1880s, Charles Overton started a series of studies to determine which molecules were able to cross this boundary layer.

Explanation:

For example the prototypical phospholipid dipalmitoyl- phosphatidylcholine, has a head to tail length of 2 nm (BNID 107241, 107242). This implies an overall bilayer membrane thickness of 4 nm (3 nm of which are strongly hydrophobic and the rest being composed of the polar heads, (BNID 107247
