Differential scanning calorimetry study of the influence of phospholipid analogs with a carbonyl-terminated sn-2 chain on the interdigitated phases formed by 1-stearoyl-2-capryl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (C18:C10-PC)
Synthetic glycerophosphocholines with highly asymmetric chain lengths form interdigitated bilayers in the gel phase. In nature, phospholipids with one hydrocarbon chain approximately twice as long as the other can arise from the autooxidation of unsaturated linkages in the acyl chain, and thus the o...
