Abstract
The exactly solvable model of the Nagle is reinterpreted and is used to form the basis of a Landau phenomenology of phospholipid bilayers with finite hydrocarbon chains. The properties of the model depend on the chain length. The results of the model calculation are in agreement with important experimental trends. It is found that infinite chain bilayers in the reinterpreted model should have transition temperatures of about 700 °K, while very short chain bilayers may have no phase transition.
