It should be noted, however, that "very short" phosphocholines are known to favor the outer monolayer leaflet of vesicles: Gabriel, N. E.; Roberts, M. F. Biochemistry 1987, 26, 2432. That the vesicles were completely destroyed upon enzymatic digestion, however, was clearly evident by the absence of light scattering.
