With a 16:0 LPC concentration up to 27 mol% only the sharp main transition with relatively high enthalpy (△H) values of DPPC was observed. Increasing 16 : 0 LPC concentration, the phase transition was broadened and the transition enthalpy was decreased and finally totally disappeared. The fluorescence probes of 3AS, 9AS, 12AS, and 16AP were employed, respectively, to detect the mo-bility of various sites of carbon chains of DPPC or 16:0 LPC/DPPC liposomes. It was shown that DPPC liposomes formed in the absence of 16:0 LPC always had a fluidity gradient in both gel and liquid-crystalline phase, while in the presence of 14.1 mol% and 27.0 mol% 16:0 LPC in the mixtures, the fluidity gradient tended to disappear below 40℃:展开更多
