title: Formation and morphology of helical structures from phospholipid-ribonucleoside conjugates in an acidic solution.
abstract: Phospholipid-ribonucleoside conjugates containing two myristoyl groups and a ribonucleotidyl group, dimyristoyl-5'-phosphatidyl-ribonucleosides, have been synthesized, and their self-organization and morphology have been investigated in acidic solutions. In acidic solutions, dimyristoyl-5'-phosphatidyl-ribonucleosides produced much different helical structures from those produced in neutral and alkaline solutions.
