| X-Ray Studies on Phospholipid Bilayers. II. Polymorphic Forms of Dipalmitoyl Phosphatidylethanolamine  | | | | Abstract
| Oriented films and powder samples of the phospholipid L-x-dipalmitoyl phosphatidylethanol amine (DPPE) were studied by X-ray fiber diffraction techniques. The specimens were photographed under a complete range of hydration at room temperature. Two polymorphic forms were found. One of them was present in oriented films. It showed a close packing of DPPE molecules lying parallel to the normal to the bilayer plane. The other form, observed in the powder samples, had the molecules tilted by about 25°. Both forms were characterized by their unit cell dimensions, space groups, molecular conformations and packing arrangements. | | | |
