Abstract:vesicles (MLVs). More recently, giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) have been used, which are excellent to study lipid phase separation, especially by fluorescence confocal microscopy, but do not easily lend themselves to calorimetry. However, the heat capacity of DPPC across the main phase transition is similar in GUVs and in large unilamellar vesicles (LUVs) but quite different from that in MLVs. Much of the attention in the thermodynamics of the phase transition in DPPC/cholesterol has been concerned with und… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
