New Phase Formation of Dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol Bilayer-Assembly with Sodium or Ammonium Ions: Gelation Phenomena in the Lamellar Liquid Crystals Aged in Water
The thermal properties of lamellar phases of dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol (DMPG) bilayer-assemblies with counter ions of Na+ and NH4+ are remarkably different. However, these lamellar phases of NaDMPG and NH4DMPG in water have been found to undergo a new gelation in common when they are aged for...

| Zusammenfassung: | The thermal properties of lamellar phases of dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol (DMPG) bilayer-assemblies with counter ions of Na+ and NH4+ are remarkably different. However, these lamellar phases of NaDMPG and NH4DMPG in water have been found to undergo a new gelation in common when they are aged for a couple of weeks below 40 °C. The new gel phases named Gel-2 reversibly change to the corresponding liquid crystal phases (LC-2) at transition temperatures (TI) of 40 °C for NaDMPG and 44 °C for NH4DMPG, respectively. |
