Infrared and laser Raman studies of deuterated model membranes: Phase transition in 1,2-perdeuterodipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine

Abstract
Raman and IR spectra of multilayer dispersions of 1,2-perdeuterodipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine in water are studied as a function of temperature for the CD stretching region. The bands associated with these vibrations can be used as a sensitive probe to monitor the gel-liquid crystal phase transition which occurs at a lower temperature in the perdeuterated phospholipid than in the corresponding natural (light) lipid.
