Satish Mulukutla and G. GrahamShipley* abstract: The structure and thermotropic properties of hy-drated bilayers of l, 2-dimyristoyl-i «-glycero-3-phospho-ethanolamine (DMPE) and its A-monomethyl (mmDMPE) and/V, iV-dimethyl (dmDMPE) derivatives have been inves-tigated by differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray dif-fraction. For DMPE, mmDMPE, and dmDMPE, multila-mellar dispersions (~ 50 wt% water) show chainmelting bilayer gel-* bilayer liquid-crystal transitions (onset) at49. 2, 42.3, and 30.7 C, respectively, with the corresponding value for 1, 2-dimyristoyl-j «-glycero-3-phosphocholine occurring at 23 C. Thus, the bilayer chain melting transition decreases with increasing N-methylation, as originally reported for the corresponding palmitoyl series [Vaughan, D. J., & Keough, K. M.(1974) FEBS Lett. 47, 158-161]. This transition is reversible on cooling, and DMPE, mmDMPE, and dmDMPE form the original bilayer gel phase with the rotationally dis-ordered hydrocarbon chains packed in a hexagonal lattice.Following prolonged incubation at-4 C, the bilayer gel phase is shown to be metastable, and conversion to a low-temperature “crystalline” phase occurs with the hydrocarbon chains adopting a specific packing mode. For DMPE, mmDMPE, and dmDMPE, either a single or a double endothermic transition occurs as the “crystal” bilayer phase converts to the bilayer gel phase. A similar pattern of behavior is observed for the palmitoyl series. The relatively slow kinetic conversion of the metastable bilayer gel phase with hexagonally packed
