β¦ Synopsis
The influence of lanthanum ions on the polymorphic phase of egg phosphatidylethanolamine and dielaidoylphosphatidylethanolamine (PE and DEPE) has been investigated by means of 31p-nuclear magnetic resonance (31p-NMR) and high sensitivity differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) techniques. 3~p-NMR experiments show that lanthanum ions promote the formation of the hexagonal II phase at temperatures lower than those of the pure egg PE. DSC results also show that lanthanum ions induce the formation of hexagonal II phase in DEPE liposomes even at very low ion concentration. The effect of lanthanum ions on the polymorphism of PE liposomes is much greater than that of calcium.

Increasing methylation of the headgroup in DPPE results in an increase of minimum area per molecule in highly compressed monolayers at the air-water interface. The shape of solid domains, as observed by epifluorescence microscopy, also exhibits marked changes upon increasing headgroup methylation. B
