Shaw-Chen Chen, Julian M. Sturtevant, Kathryn Conklin, and Betty Jean Gaffney* abstract: Dispersions of pure, spin-label phosphatidylcholines in aqueous buffer have been investigated with the Privalov high-sensitivity differential scanning calorimeter. The lipids studied are mixed-chain ones in which C-2 of glycerol bears a spin-label derivative of stearic acid and the fatty acid group at Cl is palmitate. A well-defined phase transition is observed at 30.3-30.7 C for the phosphatidylcholine labeled near the polar end of the stearate chain (label at C-5). A sharp transition (32-34 C) is also observed for the lipid spin-labeled near the terminal methyl of stearate (label at C-l6), but the thermodynamic parameters for this lipid depend strongly on the history of the sample. Calorimetric evidence for hysteresis (Considerable insight into the physical chemistry of phos-pholipid bilayers, with and without protein components, has been obtained in studies which employ lipid probes. These probes maycontain paramagnetic groups for electron para-magnetic resonance(EPR) 1 studies (Seelig, 1970; Hubbell & McConnell, 1971; Gaffney & McConnell, 1974), chromo-phores for fluorescence measurements (Sklar et al., 1975;
