Measurement of chain tilt angle in fully hydrated bilayers of gel phase lecithins.
The tilt angle theta tilt of the hydrocarbon chains has been determined for fully hydrated gel phase of a series of saturated lecithins. Oriented samples were prepared on glass substrates and hydrated with supersaturated water vapor. Evidence for full hydration was the same intensity pattern of the low angle lamellar peaks and the same lamellar repeat D as unoriented multilamellar vesicles. Til...
متن کاملStructure Determination of Fully Hydrated L . Phase Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine Bilayers
Bilayer form factors obtained from x-ray scattering data taken with high instrumental resolution are reported for multilamellar vesicles of La, phase lipid bilayers of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine at 500C under varying osmotic pressure. Artifacts in the magnitudes of the form factors due to liquid crystalline fluctuations have been eliminated by using modified Caille theory. The Caille fluctu...
متن کاملMolecular studies of the gel to liquid-crystalline phase transition for fully hydrated DPPC and DPPE bilayers.
Molecular dynamics simulations were used for a comprehensive study of the structural properties of saturated lipid bilayers, DPPC and DPPE, near the main phase transition. Though the chemical structure of DPPC and DPPE are largely similar (they only differ in the choline and ethanolamine groups), their transformation process from a gel to a liquid-crystalline state is contrasting. For DPPC, thr...
متن کاملClarification of the ripple phase of lecithin bilayers using fully hydrated, aligned samples.
Aligned samples of lipid bilayers have been fully hydrated from water vapor in a different type of x-ray chamber. Our use of aligned samples resolves issues concerning the ripple phase that were ambiguous from previous powder studies. In particular, our x-ray diffraction data conclusively demonstrate that, on cooling from the L alpha to the P beta' phase, both chiral and racemic samples of dipa...
متن کاملStructure and interactions of fully hydrated dioleoylphosphatidylcholine bilayers.
This study focuses on dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) bilayers near full hydration. Volumetric data and high-resolution synchrotron x-ray data are used in a method that compares DOPC with well determined gel phase dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC). The key structural quantity obtained is fully hydrated area/lipid A0 = 72.2 +/- 1.1 A2 at 30 degrees C, from which other quantities such as t...
