Myelin basic protein induces hexagonal phase formation in dispersions of diacylphosphatidic acid.
31P nuclear magnetic resonance and low-angle X-ray diffraction measurements have shown that the basic protein of myelin caused diacylphosphatidic acid dispersions to change from a lamellar to a hexagonal lipid organisation. Several other basic proteins failed to effect a similar phase change, and had little influence on phospholipid headgroup structure and motion.
