Abstract
Model membranes of diacylphosphatidylcholines (CnPC), with saturated linear acyl chains of n > 12 carbons, show a single sharp phase transition (known as the main transition) between the gel phase P beta' and the liquid crystalline phase L alpha with differential scanning calorimetry. However, C12PC (dilauroylphosphatidylcholine) shows, as well as the sharp transition at -2 degrees C, a broad peak at 5 degrees C, originally observed by S. Mabrey...
