Abstract
As a model for 1,2‐bis(2,4‐octadecadienoyl)‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphorylcholine, a doubly unsaturated membrane‐forming lipid molecule, force‐field (MMP2) calculations were performed on S‐1,2‐bis(2‐dibutenoyl)glycerol, and CNDO/S‐calculations2CNDO: Complete neglect of differential overlap, a semi‐empirical quantum‐mechanical method.
on the derived minimum‐energy conformations of S‐1,2‐bis(2,4‐hexadienoyl)glycerol. The energy hypersurface especially with respect to the dihedral angles along the C(1)‐C(2) and the two CO ester bonds was explored and the rotational strength as a function of these angles was calculated. The two gauche‐forms were found to be most stable, with a slight preference for the g^−^‐form. The experimental circular dichroism data obtained for 1,2‐bis(2,4‐hexadienoyl)‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphorylcholine, the corresponding phosphorylcholine, indicate a dynamic equilibrium between two forms of opposite chirality possibly involving the g^+^‐and the g^−^‐forms.
