Evidence for the Formation of Symmetric and Asymmetric DLPC-DAPC Lipid Bilayer Domains

Evidence for the Formation of Symmetric and Asymmetric DLPC-DAPC Lipid Bilayer Domains

Background/Aims: We investigated if mixtures of the phosphatidylcholine (PC) lipids 1,2-dilauroyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (C12:0 PC; DLPC) and 1,2-diarachidoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (C20:0 PC; DAPC), which differ by eight methylene groups in acyl chain length, lead to the spontaneous forma...
