Abstract
ABSTRACTThe phase transitions of dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG) bilayer membrane at high NaCl concentrations under high pressure were investigated to construct the temperature–pressure phase diagram and to determine phase-transition properties. The constructed phase diagrams exhibited qualitative resemblance to that of the dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayer membrane: they showed the gel-phase polymorphism including the pressure-induced bilayer interdigitation. The phase-transition properties of the DPPG bilayer membrane changed in a salt concentration-dependent manner. We discussed the salt effect on the DPPG bilayer membrane from the variation in interactions between the polar head groups of the PG molecules.
