The structure and thermotropic properties of hydrated 1,3-dipalmitoyl-glycero-2-phosphocholine (β-DPPC) have been studied by X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry. After prolonged storage at −3°C, differential scanning calorimetry heating scans exhibit endothermic transitions at 27°C and 37°C, with transition enthalpies, ΔH= 9·1 and 10·5 kcal/mol β-DPPC, respectively (1 cal = 4·184 J). Upon cooling, the high temperature transition is completely reversible, whereas the low temperature transition is not. Prolonged incubation of hydrated β-DPPC at low temperatures is necessary in order to regain the full enthalpy of the low temperature transition, indicating metastability of the low temperature form. X-ray diffraction studies indicate three different lamellar phases upon heating equilibrated β-DPPC from −3°C: (1) below 18°C, a hydrated (14 mol water/mol β-DPPC) “crystalline” bilayer phase, Lc, with an ordered hydrocarbon chain-packing mode and a bilayer periodicityd= 58 Å; (2) between 30°C and 35°C, a hydrated (22 mol water/mol β-DPPC) gel phase, Lβ, with hexagonal chain-packing andd= 47 Å; hydrocarbon chain interdigitation in this phase is suggested by the small bilayer periodicity, a sharp, symmetric wide-angle reflection at 1/4·2 Å−1, an area per mol β-DPPC at the interface of ∼80 Å2, electron density profiles and structure factor calculations using strip electron density models; (3) above 37°C, a highly hydrated (48 mol water/mol β-DPPC) liquid crystalline bilayer phase, Lα, withd= 65 Å.Previous nuclear magnetic resonance and neutron diffraction studies have suggested that in β-DPPC the glycerol backbone adopts an orientation parallel to the bilayer surface, in contrast to its usual perpendicular orientation in α-DPPC. This conformation presumably results in an increasedintramolecular chain separation, with consequent changes in the molecular packing, hydration and thermotropic behavior of β-DPPC, compared to its positional isomer α-DPPC.
