Abstract
High sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry is employed in the study of the gel to liquid crystal phase transition of a highly purified sample of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine in multilamellar bilayer suspension. The purity of the sample seems to be better than 99.94 mol % and the transition closely approximates an isothermal 1st-order transition.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
