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 کاملEffect of acyl chain composition on salt-induced lamellar to inverted hexagonal phase transitions in cardiolipin.
Salt-induced fluid lamellar (L alpha) to inverted hexagonal (HII) phase transitions have been studied in diphosphatidylglycerols (cardiolipins) with different acyl chain compositions, using 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Cardiolipins with four myristoyl chains, tetramyristoyl cardiolipin (TMCL), and with four oleoyl chains, tetraoleoyl cardiolipin (TOCL), were synthesized ch...
متن کاملSwelling kinetics of a compressed lamellar phase
We investigate how multilamellar vesicles prepared in a compressed state under flow return to equilibrium. The kinetics is studied by following the temporal evolution of the viscoelasticity after the shear is stopped. It exhibits a two-step relaxation whose slower stage is strongly affected by temperature. According to a simple model, the temperature-dependent permeability of the lamellar phase...
متن کاملLamellar to hexagonal phase transition in DOPE-DOPC- Alkanol system: X-ray diffraction study
Alkane-1-ols (abbreviation CnOH, n is the number of carbons in alkyl chain) are known as general anesthetics that do not obey the Meyer-Overton rule [1]. Their anesthetic potency increases up to C11OH and then decreases, compounds with n 13 are nonanesthetic, although the molar partition coefficient Kp between the lipid bilayers and aqueous phase increases exponentially in the whole region [2]....
متن کاملIon induced lamellar-lamellar phase transition in charged surfactant systems.
We propose a model for the liquid-liquid (L(alpha)-->L(alpha(') )) phase transition observed in osmotic pressure measurements of certain charged lamellae-forming amphiphiles. The model free energy combines mean-field electrostatic and phenomenological nonelectrostatic interactions, while the number of dissociated counterions is treated as a variable degree of freedom that is determined self-con...
