| Abstract | Aqueous dispersions of synthetic dimyristoyl L-alpha-lecithin undergo a sharp decrease in turbidity in the temperature range where the crystalline-liquid crystalline phase transition occurs. Equilibrium transition curves, monitored by the absorbancy change at 300 nm, reproduce all the important features of a calorimetric melting curve [Hinz & Sturtevant (1972) J. Biol. Chem. 247, 6071]. A rapid temperature-jump of the dispersion, measured by the same absorbancy change, has detected several different molecular processes depending on the magnitude of the perturbation. These processes include a phase transition, permeation of ions and water across the membrane, and repture, annealing, or fusion of the bilayer structures. When the temperature-jump is limited to 1 degree, only reactions associated with the phase transition are detectable and no signal is generated after a temperature-jump except for those which end within or extend beyond the transition zones. At least two relaxation times are resolved for the phase transition reactions. The faster one in the millisecond time range is strongly temperature-dependent and has an activation energy close to one million calories per mole. The second one, in the 100-msec time range, appears to have a much smaller activation energy. These observations indicate that strongly cooperative nucleation processes and energy-dependent fast propagation steps occur during the phase transition. Since the kinetics of the transition are complex, intermediate state or transient structures must exist in the transition regions of the bilayer dispersions. These thermal fluctuations of the bilayer structures may have important effects on the lateral diffusion and permeation of molecules and ions in the membrane structure. |

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.
