Effect of herbicides on phase transitions of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine vesicles
The gel to liquid-crystalline phase transition of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) vesicles was monitored with a lightscattering technique in the presence and absence of herbicides. The phase transition temperature for pure DPPC was determined as 41.6°C. 2-Methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoic acid (dicamba), 2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorophenylacetic acid (methoxy fenac), 2,4,5-T, (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)...
متن کاملNUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF THE PHASE TRANSITIONS IN CLUSTERS
We have studied the phase transitions in atomic clusters by molecular dynamics simulation, assuming Lennard-Jones interatomic pair potential. Calculations are performed by DAP parallel computer. The results are analyzed by simulating their orientational distribution plots (dot-plot), and neutron diffraction patterns. It is shown that all the main features of the bulk phase transitions are e...
متن کاملStructure of the ripple phase of phospholipid multibilayers.
We present electron density maps (EDMs) of the ripple phase formed by phosphorylcholine lipids such as dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholine (DMPC), palmitoyl-oleoyl phosphatidylcholine (POPC), dihexadecyl phosphatidylcholine, and dilauroyl phosphatidylcholine (DLPC). With the exception of DLPC, the rippled bilayers have a sawtooth shape in all the systems, with one arm being almost twice as long as ...
متن کاملLarge effect of membrane tension on the fluid-solid phase transitions of two-component phosphatidylcholine vesicles.
Model phospholipid membranes and vesicles have long provided insight into the nature of confined materials and membranes while also providing a platform for drug delivery. The rich thermodynamic behavior and interesting domain shapes in these membranes have previously been mapped in extensive studies that vary temperature and composition; however, the thermodynamic impact of tension on bilayers...
متن کاملPhase Transitions in Phase Retrieval
Consider a scenario in which an unknown signal is transformed by a known linear operator, and then the pointwise absolute value of the unknown output function is reported. This scenario appears in several applications, and the goal is to recover the unknown signal – this is called phase retrieval. Phase retrieval has been a popular subject of research in the last few years, both in determining ...
