The scope of the present review focuses on the interfacial properties of cell membranes that
may establish a link between the membrane and the cytosolic components. We present …

Modulating the relative humidity (RH) of the ambient gas phase of a phospholipid/water
sample for modifying the activity of phospholipid-sorbed water [humidity-controlled osmotic …

Below the thermotropic chain-melting transition, lipid membrane c P traces display a
transition of low enthalpy called the lipid pretransition. It is linked to the formation of periodic …

The study of phospholipid phase transitions is important for understanding drug− and
protein− membrane interactions as well as other phenomena such as trans-membrane …

We conducted infrared linear dichroism and X-ray measurements to characterize
membranes of sn-1 chain perdeuterated, polyunsaturated 1-stearoyl-2-docosahexaenoyl-sn …

Stratum corneum ceramides play an essential role in the barrier properties of skin. However,
their structure–activity relationships are poorly understood. We investigated the effects of …

One of the advantages of investigating lipid phase transitions by thermoanalytical
techniques such as DSC is manifested in the proportionality of the signal strength on a DSC …

The elucidation of the thermal properties of phosphatidylcholine liposomes is often based on
the analysis of the thermal capacity profiles of multilamellar liposomes (MLV), which may …

Temperature-dependent transmission FT-IR spectroscopy and DSC measurements were
conducted on lipid multibilayers constituted from 1, 2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3 …

Quantitative orientation measurements by attenuated total reflectance (ATR) infrared
spectroscopy require the accurate knowledge of the dichroic ratio and of the mean-square …
