Volumetric stability of lipid bilayers [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2012
In agreement with recent reports, a commercial densimeter has yielded a gradual decrease in lipid molecular volume of DPPC multilamellar vesicle dispersions in the gel phase upon repeated thermal cycling between 10 °C and 50 °C. The considerable size of this decrease would have significant implications for the physical chemistry of biomembranes.
