• Description: Hel 13-5 trifluoroacetate salt H-Lys-Leu-Leu-Lys-Leu-Leu-Leu-Lys-Leu-Trp-Leu-Lys-Leu-Leu-Lys-Leu-LeuHel 13 is a ternary anionic surfactant consisting of a helix and three head groups. The head groups are Lys, Leu, and Leu. Each of these three head groups have a hydrophilic polar group and two lipophilic chains. It is typically used as a surfactant in the pulmonary system to help maintain lung function. When Hel 13 is used in the pulmonary system, it helps to keep the alveoli open so that air can be exchanged with blood. Hel 13 also has been shown to reduce surface tension at high pressures and temperatures, which could potentially be used for industrial purposes such as oil drilling or nuclear power plants.
