Research Abstract |
Variation of the thermotropic behavior of both lipid assemblies and associated water molecules with an increase in water content was investigated for negatively charged phosphatidyiglycerol (PG)-water system up to 95 wt.% water by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The number of water molecules interposed into interbilayer regions of the present system was estimated from a deconvolution analysis of ice-melting DSC curves On the basis of a result of the calorimetric method, a water distribution diagram was constructed over the water content range from 0 to 95 wt.% water. The diagram revealed a continuous incorporation of freezable interlamellar water up to 95 wt.%, in contrast with a limiting incorporation for neutral lipids such as phosphatidyicholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). Such a characteristic interlamellar water uptake for PG was discussed from the viwpoint of unilamellar forming property for this lipid.
