Phase diagram of a polyunsaturated lipid mixture: Brain sphingomyelin/1-stearoyl-2-docosahexaenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine/cholesterol.
Phospholipids having a polyunsaturated acyl chain are abundant in biological membranes, but their behavior in lipid mixtures is difficult to study. Here we elucidate the nature of such mixtures with this report of the first ternary phase diagram containing the polyunsaturated lipid SDPC in mixtures of BSM/SDPC/Chol (brain sphingomyelin/1-stearoyl-2-docosahexaenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine/ch...
متن کاملPhase diagram of a 4-component lipid mixture: DSPC/DOPC/POPC/chol.
We report the first 4-component phase diagram for the lipid bilayer mixture, DSPC/DOPC/POPC/chol (distearoylphosphatidylcholine/dioleoylphosphatidylcholine/1-palmitoyl, 2-oleoylphosphatidylcholine/cholesterol). This phase diagram, which has macroscopic Ld+Lo phase domains, clearly shows that all phase boundaries determined for the 3-component mixture containing DOPC transition smoothly into the...
متن کاملPhase diagram of a binary mixture in a closed cavity.
Normally, the phase diagram is reported as a property of the binary mixture. We show that the phase diagram (that is, the zones of thermodynamic stability of the states of the binary mixture) is also affected by the size of the container. We investigate the thermodynamic stability of the binary mixture in a closed cavity, and identify the zone in parameters where the binary mixture is heterogen...
متن کاملPhase diagram of a binary symmetric hard-core Yukawa mixture.
We assess the accuracy of the self-consistent Ornstein-Zernike approximation for a binary symmetric hard-core Yukawa mixture by comparison with Monte Carlo simulations of the phase diagrams obtained for different choices of the ratio alpha of the unlike-to-like interactions. In particular, from the results obtained at alpha=0.75 we find evidence for a critical endpoint in contrast to recent stu...
متن کاملDehydration induces lateral expansion of polyunsaturated 18:0-22:6 phosphatidylcholine in a new lamellar phase.
To gain a better understanding of the biological role of polyunsaturated phospholipids, infrared (IR) linear dichroism, NMR, and x-ray diffraction studies have been conducted on the lyotropic phase behavior and bilayer dimensions of sn-1 chain perdeuterated 1-stearoyl-2-docosahexaenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (SDPC-d35), a mixed-chain saturated (18:0)-polyunsaturated (22:6 omega 3) lipid. S...
