Structural insights into the cubic-hexagonal phase transition kinetics of monoolein modulated by sucrose solutions.
Using DSC (differential scanning calorimetry), we measure the kinetics of the cubic-HII phase transition of monoolein in bulk sucrose solutions. We find that the transition temperature is dramatically lowered, with each 1 mol kg(-1) of sucrose concentration dropping the transition by 20 °C. The kinetics of this transition also slow greatly with increasing sucrose concentration. For low sucrose ...
متن کاملA pressure-jump time-resolved X-ray diffraction study of cubic-cubic transition kinetics in monoolein.
In the past two decades, the geometric pathways involved in the transformations between inverse bicontinuous cubic phases in amphiphilic systems have been extensively theoretically modeled. However, little experimental data exists on the cubic-cubic transformation in pure lipid systems. We have used pressure-jump time-resolved X-ray diffraction to investigate the transition between the gyroid Q...
متن کاملStacking of Short DNA Induces the Gyroid Cubic-to-Inverted Hexagonal Phase Transition in Lipid-DNA Complexes.
Lyotropic phases of amphiphiles are a prototypical example of self-assemblies. Their structure is generally determined by amphiphile shape and their phase transitions are primarily governed by composition. In this paper, we demonstrate a new paradigm for membrane shape control where the electrostatic coupling of charged membranes to short DNA (sDNA), with tunable temperature-dependent end-to-en...
متن کاملStability of the Inverted Hexagonal Phase
The inverted hexagonal phase (HII) belongs to the biologically most significant nonlamellar lipid phases in biomembranes. Hence the geometric properties and conditions of transition to the HII phase are nowadays widely studied. In this chapter we offer a brief overview on the mechanics of the HII lipid phase. In our derivation of the free energy of lipid monolayers, we assume that lipid molecul...
متن کاملEffect of electrostatic interactions on phase stability of cubic phases of membranes of monoolein/dioleoylphosphatidic acid mixtures.
To elucidate effects of electrostatic interactions resulting from surface charges on structures and phase stability of cubic phases of lipid membranes, membranes of 1-monoolein (MO) and dioleoylphosphatidic acid (DOPA) (DOPA/MO membrane) mixtures have been investigated by small-angle x-ray scattering method. As increasing DOPA concentration in the DOPA/MO membrane at 30 wt% lipid concentration,...
