Phase diagram of stigmasterol-dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine mixtures dispersed in excess water.
As a simple model of rafts in plant cells, the effect of stigmasterol, one of the predominant sterols in plant plasma membranes, on the phase behavior of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) multilayers has been studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and freeze-fracture electron microscopy (FFEM) techniques. A partial phase diagram of the binary system has...
متن کاملPhase diagram of androsterol-dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine mixtures dispersed in excess water.
The effect of androsterol, whose structure resembles that of cholesterol but without the alkyl side chain, on the phase behavior of aqueous dispersions of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine has been studied to understand the role of the side chain played in the formation of ordered phases of the type observed in membrane rafts. Thermotropic changes in the structure of mixed dispersions and transiti...
متن کاملPhase diagram of water in carbon nanotubes.
A phase diagram of water in single-walled carbon nanotubes at atmospheric pressure is proposed, which summarizes ice structures and their melting points as a function of the tube diameter up to 1.7 nm. The investigation is based on extensive molecular dynamics simulations over numerous thermodynamic states on the temperature-diameter plane. Spontaneous freezing of water in the simulations and t...
متن کاملEffect of Dispersed Phase Volume Fraction on Physical Stability of Oil-in-Water Emulsion in The Presence of Gum Tragacanth
Background: The dispersed phase volume fraction plays key role in oil-in-water emulsion stability by different mechanisms like partial flocculation, depletion flocculation and bridging flocculation. Since the mentioned mechanism is affected by emulsifier concentration presented in system, the major aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dispersed phase volume fraction on physical st...
متن کاملPhase diagram of water between hydrophobic surfaces.
Molecular dynamics simulations demonstrate that there are at least two classes of quasi-two-dimensional solid water into which liquid water confined between hydrophobic surfaces freezes spontaneously and whose hydrogen-bond networks are as fully connected as those of bulk ice. One of them is the monolayer ice and the other is the bilayer solid which takes either a crystalline or an amorphous fo...
