Journal ArticleDOI
A calorimetric and fluorescent probe study of the gel-liquid crystalline phase transition in small, single-lamellar dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles.
TL;DR: An experimentally testable thermodynamic and kinetic model based upon the results of a calorimetric and fluorescent probe study of the thermotropic behavior of various types of dispersions of dipalmitolphosphatidylcholine bilayer vesicles is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of differential scanning calorimetry as a tool to characterize liposome preparations
TL;DR: Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) as discussed by the authors measures the temperature-dependence of the excess heat capacity of a system due to thermal phase transitions, which can serve as a powerful tool for quality control of liposomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Statistical mechanical deconvolution of thermal transitions in macromolecules. I. Theory and application to homogeneous systems
TL;DR: The theoretical basis for the statistical mechanical deconvolution of a thermally induced macromolecular melting profile is presented in this article, where it is shown that all the thermodynamic quantities characterizing a multistate MC transition can be obtained from the average excess enthalpy function of the system, without any assumption of the particular model or mechanism of the reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Studies on the anomalous thermotropic behavior of aqueous dispersions of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine-cholesterol mixtures
TL;DR: Examination of the thermotropic behavior of aqueous dispersions of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine-cholesterol mixtures by high-sensitivity scanning calorimetry has revealed that the phospholipid gel to liquid-crystalline phase transition consists of two components.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enthalpy-entropy compensation and heat capacity changes for protein-ligand interactions: general thermodynamic models and data for the binding of nucleotides to ribonuclease A.
TL;DR: Experimental thermodynamic data for the binding of cytidine 3'-phosphate to ribonuclease A demonstrate apparent enthalpy-entropy compensation when pH and ionic strength are varied.
