A mechanism of charge transfer into the hydrophobic membrane zone is proposed. The mechanism proposed includes transfer of radical state in the long chain hydrocarbon molecules of membrane lipids. In connection with this phenomenon mechanisms of electron transfer by short pi-systems formed in the fatty acid chains are discussed, as well as mechanisms of some oxidizing processes in microsome and mitochondria membranes.
