TLDR
A comparison of monolayer and bilayer systems on the basis of the absolute value of the molecular area of the phospholipid in the bilayer gel phase and the change in area at the bilayers and monolayers transition leads to the following conclusions.

Phases and phase transitions of the phosphatidylcholines

TL;DR: A review of the data subset referring to phosphatidylcholine phase behavior reflecting changes in lipid chain length, unsaturation, asymmetry and branching, type of chain-glycerol linkage (ester, ether, amide), and position of chain attachment to the glycerol backbone are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Membrane-protein interactions in cell signaling and membrane trafficking.

TL;DR: This review summarizes the recent progress in the understanding of how the kinetics and energetics of membrane-protein interactions are regulated during the cellular membrane targeting and activation of peripheral proteins.

Phosphatidylcholine acyl unsaturation modulates the decrease in interfacial elasticity induced by cholesterol.

TL;DR: The mixing of cholesterol with PC was found to diminish the in-plane elasticity of the films beyond what was predicted from the additive behavior of the individual lipid components apportioned by mole and area fraction.

Hyperthermia-triggered drug delivery from temperature-sensitive liposomes using MRI-guided high intensity focused ultrasound.

TL;DR: The concept of temperature-triggered drug delivery has been extended to MR image-guided drug delivery by the co-encapsulation of a paramagnetic MRI contrast agent in the lumen of TSLs.

Physical studies of phospholipids. VI. Thermotropic and lyotropic mesomorphism of some 1,2-diacyl-phosphatidylcholines (lecithins)

TL;DR: The thermotropic and lyotropic mesomorphism of saturated 1,2-diacyl-L-phosphatidylcholines (lecithins) has been studied by light microscopy, differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.

Nature of the Thermal pretransition of synthetic phospholipids: dimyristolyl- and dipalmitoyllecithin.

TL;DR: The hydrated synthetic lecithins, dimyristoyl and dipalmitoyllecithin, undergo two thermal transitions, a broad low enthalpy "pretransition" prior to the sharp first-order "chain-melting" transition and a structural transformation from a one-dimensional lamellar to a two-dimensional monoclinic lattice consisting of lipid lamellae distorted by a periodic ripple.

Relation between various phospholipase actions on human red cell membranes and the interfacial phospholipid pressure in monolayers

TL;DR: It is concluded that the lipid packing in the outer monolayer of the erythrocyte membrane is comparable with a lateral surface pressure between 31 and 34.8 dynes/cm.
