hello!
’ The solution pH affects many membrane-mediated biological processes , such as membrane fusion (1), cholesterol domain formation (2,3), drug-liposome interactions (4), membrane phase transitions (5–9), and erythrocyte deformability and spectrin solubility (10).
this is what i found on the internet :slight_smile: hope it helps
