Abstract
The miscibility of the synthetic peptide antigen of hepatitis A, [Lys]113VP3110 with zwitterionic, anionic and cationic lipids was studied through compression isotherms of monolayers at the air/water interface. Deviations from ideality was found, with a different behaviour to the one observed with the parent peptide VP3(110-121). Deviations were quantified through the calculation of thermodynamic parameters such as the free energy of mixing ΔGEXM), interaction parameter (α) and the enthalpy (ΔH).
