Mechanism and thermodynamics of multilevel structural transitions in liquid crystals under external actions

Mesomechanics and Thermodynamics of Nanostructural Transitions in Biological Membranes Under the Action of Steroid Hormones

“…In our earlier studies of high density lipoproteins (HDL), when calculating the enthalpy of structural transitions from experimental data, the occurrence of smectic A  smectic C transition in HDL phospholipids [8] has been suggested. Such a transitions may occur here, since it has a low enthalpy [8,24].…”
