| Abstract | The thermal response of aqueous dispersions of phosphatidylsulfocholines (dimyristoyl-, dipalmitoyl- and distearoyl-) was studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Comparison with that of the corresponding phosphatidylcholines showed several close resemblances, including the observation in the gel phase of a ‘pretransition’ and of a ‘subtransition’. The similarity in the thermotropic phase behavior of these two lipid classes is consistent with the total replacement of phosphatidylcholine by phosphatidylsulfocholine in certain marine diatoms. |
