Phase transitions of alkyl ether analogs of phosphatidylcholine.
The phase-transition temperatures of aqueous dispersions of diester, monoether and diether analogs of phosphatidylcholine were determinmed using transparinaric acid as a fluorescent probe. The diether analog of phosphatidylcholine has a higher phase-transition temperature, whilst the monoether analog has a lower phase-transition temperature than their diester counterpart.
