| Abstract | The use of monomolecular Langmuir films and multilamellar systems as models of biological membranes is widespread in the literature. However, several examples highlighted some different properties of monolayer and multilayer systems like miscibility, phase equilibrium, hydration or dynamics. Our work contributes to this question by comparing the lipid ordering in monolayers and stacks of flat bilayers. We have considered the monolayer spread at the air–water interface and the liquid-crystalline gel phase formed by 1,2-distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC) at 20 °C. Grazing Incidence X-ray Diffraction (GIXD) and Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) coupled with Wide-Angle X-ray Scattering (WAXS) were employed to analyse the ordering of DSPC chains in these model systems. Results show that the ordering of DSPC in monolayers and stacked bilayers is indeed different. The lattices in monolayers and stacked bilayers are distorted in different directions and at different rates. Additionally, we incorporated an unsaturated neutral lipid (1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-glycerol, SAG) in DSPC monolayers and multilayers. Despite the same miscibility range, we found the same difference between monolayers and stacked bilayers in the mixed system DSPC–SAG as for pure DSPC. The in-plane structure of self-assembled lipids must be then considered with care when comparing monolayers and stacks of bilayers. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
