(Summary) We observed bilayer phase transitions of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) in aqueous so-lutions of four kinds of monosaccharides, namely, D-glucose, D-fructose, D-allose and D-psicose, using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). D-allose (C3-epimer of D-glucose) and D-psicose (C3-epimer of D-fructose) are rare sugars. We performed DSC measurements using two types of sugar-containing sample dispersions of the DMPC vesicles: one is a normal sample dispersion with no concentration asymmetry between the inside and outside of the vesicles and the other is an unusual sample dispersion with a concentration asymmetry. DSC measurements using normal sample dispersions with different sugar concentrations revealed that the temperatures and transi-tion enthalpies of the pre- and main transition of the DMPC bilayer membrane did not significant-ly depend on the sugar concentration for all monosaccharides. DSC measurements using the unu-sual sample dispersions demonstrated that the concentration asymmetry caused the splitting of the endothermic peak of the main transition similarly irrespective of the sort of monosaccharides present. From all these DSC results, we conclude that (i) most monosaccharide molecules exist in the bulk water phase, (ii) no specific interaction depending on the molecular structure of each monosaccharide directly occurs between the DMPC and each monosaccharide molecule, and (iii) almost all the effects of the monosaccharides observed in this study are understandable as the gen-eral colligative properties of solutions.

(Summary) The phase transition from the bilayer gel (ripple gel) phase to the nonbilayer gel (interdigitated gel) phase of bilayers of phosphatidylcholines (PCs) with two saturated long-chain fatty acids under high pressure was investigated by pressure-scanning microscopy, fluorometry, and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements. Microscopic observations for giant vesicles (GVs) of distearoyl-PC (DSPC) under high pressure showed that spherical GVs transforms into warped and distorted spherical ones instantaneously at the interdigitation. The fluorescence intensities of amphiphilic probe Prodan and hydrophobic probe Laurdan in the dipalmitoyl-PC (DPPC) bilayer steeply decreased and increased, respectively, at the interdigitation, suggesting that the conformational change of the polar head group of DPPC in the bilayer transiently occurred at the interdigitation. Further, the high-pressure DLS measurements revealed that the size of the vesicle particles of DPPC and DSPC transiently increased near the interdigitation pressure, whereas the ethanol-induced interdigitation of the DSPC bilayer under atmospheric pressure produced no such change in the particle size. Taking account of the critical packing parameter of the PC molecule, we could conclude that the pressure-induced interdigitation is attributable to the increase in repulsive interaction between the polar head groups of the PC molecules resulting from the orientational change of the head group from a parallel alignment to a perpendicular one with respect to the bilayer surface with pressure, namely the transient state: it occurs when the repulsive interaction exceeds a threshold value for the balance between the repulsive interaction and the attractive interaction among the hydrophobic acyl chains.

(Summary) Prodan (6-propiponyl-2-(N,N-dimethylamino)naphthalene) is well known as a polarity-sensitive fluorescent probe and has a high capability of detecting structural changes occurring within phospholipid bilayer membranes. In this study, we carried out the fluorescence spectroscopic observation of bilayer phase behavior for a series of symmetric saturated diacylphosphatidylcholines (CnPCs) with different acyl-chain length n (n = 12 15 and 19 22) using Prodan as a membrane probe to confirm the availability of Prodan along with the previous results for the CnPC bilayer membranes (n = 16 18). The results were discussed by constructing spectral three-dimensional (3D) imaging plots for visualizing the change in bilayer phase states with temperature or pressure to verify the functionality of this 3D imaging plot. It was found that the Prodan fluorescence technique is applicable to the detection of the changes in the bilayer phase states of all CnPCs with a few exceptions. One of the most crucial exceptions was that Prodan cannot be used for the detection of the bilayer-gel state of the C21PC bilayer membrane. It was also found that it is only to the CnPC bilayer membranes with n = 15 18 that the 3D imaging plot is adequately and accurately applicable as a useful graphical tool for visually detecting the bilayer phase states. This is a disadvantageous feature of this technique brought about by the high sensitivity of Prodan as a membrane probe. Therefore, further detailed studies on the molecular behavior of Prodan will enable us to find a more useful way of utilizing this membrane probe.

(Summary) An unnatural phospholipid with two amide linkages, dipalmitoylamidodeoxyphosphatidylcholine (DPADPC), was synthesized and its bilayer phase transitions were observed by differential scanning calorimetry under atmospheric pressure and light-transmittance measurements under high pressure. The DPADPC bilayer membrane showed different phase transitions depending on the thermal history of the lipid sample under atmospheric pressure. The thermal-history dependent transitions were also observed under high pressure. The temperature pressure phase diagram and thermodynamic quantities of the phase transitions of the DPADPC bilayer membrane were compared with those of bilayer membranes of hydrophobic chain-linkage isomers, ester-liked dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and ether-linked dihexadecylphosphatidylcholine (DHPC). The thermodynamic quantities of the main transition for these PC bilayer membranes were similar to each other, whereas the suppression of the interdigitation and great stabilization of the hydrated crystal phase were observed for the DPADPC bilayer membrane. Furthermore, the results of nuclear magnetic resonance measurements indicated that the motility of PC molecules in both gel and liquid crystal phases of the DPADPC bilayer membranes were much lower than those of the DPPC and DHPC bilayer membranes. From the above results, we concluded that the molecular interaction in the PC bilayer membranes increases in the order of ether-, ester- and amide-linkage isomers.

(Summary) Membrane fusion of giant vesicles (GVs) for binary bilayers of unsaturated phospholipids, dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) having an ability to promote membrane fusion and its homolog dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC) having an ability to form GV, was investigated under atmospheric and high pressure. While DOPC formed GVs in the presence of inorganic salts with a multivalent metal ion under atmospheric pressure, an equimolar mixture of DOPE and DOPC formed GVs both in the absence and the presence of LaCl3. We examined the change in size and shape of the GVs of this binary mixture in the absence and presence of LaCl3 as a function of time under atmospheric and high pressure. The size and shape of the GVs in the absence of LaCl3 under atmospheric and high pressure and those in the presence of LaCl3 under atmospheric pressure hardly changed with time. By contrast, the GV in the presence of LaCl3 under high pressure gradually changed in the size and shape with time on a time scale of several hours. Namely, the GV became larger than the original GV due to accelerated membrane fusion and its shape became more spherical. This pressure-induced membrane fusion was completely irreversible, and the growth rate was correlated with the applied pressure. The reason for the GV growth by applying pressure was considered on the basis of thermodynamic phase diagrams. We concluded that the growth is attributable to a closer packing of lipid molecules in the bilayer resulting from their preference of smaller volumes under high pressure. Furthermore, the molecular mechanism of the pressure-induced membrane fusion was explored by observing the fusion of two GVs with almost the same size. From their morphological changes, we revealed that the fusion is caused by the actions of Laplace and osmotic pressure.

6.	Masaki GOTO, Sawaguchi Hiroshi, Nobutake Tamai and Hitoshi Matsuki : Subgel-phase formation of membranes of ether-linked phosphatidylcholines, Chemistry and Physics of Lipids, Vol.239, 105119, 2021. (Summary) The formation of subgel (so-called hydrated crystal) phase of membranes of ether-linked phospholipids, dialkylphosphatidylcholines containing linear saturated alkyl chain (Cn = 14, 16 and 18), was examined under atmospheric and high pressure. The results of differential scanning calorimetry in 50 wt% aqueous ethylene glycol solution and water showed that these PC membranes undergo the subtransition from the subgel phase to the gel phase at a low temperature with or without the thermal pretreatment of lipid samples called annealing. The subtransition in water could be clearly observed by light-transmittance measurements under high pressure and the transition temperature increased by applying pressure. The temperature-pressure phase diagrams and the thermodynamic quantities of subtransition were obtained from the phase-transition data and compared with those of membranes of ester-linked phospholipids, diacylphosphatidylcholines. The phase diagrams indicated that all gel phases of the ether-linked PC membranes exist as stable phases while parts of the gel phases of the ester-linked PC membranes are metastable. The subtransition temperatures of the ether-linked PC membranes were lower than those of the ester-linked PC membranes by more than 10 °C and the corresponding thermodynamic quantities were extremely small. Further, it was revealed by high-pressure fluorometry that the difference in subgel phase between ether- and ester-linked PC membranes results from their phase structures: the nonbilayer interdigitated structure is maintained after the conversion from the gel phase to the subgel phase in the ether-linked PC membranes whereas the ester-linked PC membranes form bilayer subgel phase with staggered structure.

(Summary) The bilayer phase transitions of medium-chain phosphatidylcholines with linear saturated acyl chains (Cn = 12, 13 and 14) were measured by high-pressure light-transmittance measurements and differential scanning calorimetry to investigate the formation of intermediate gel-liquid crystalline phase called Lx phase. The constructed phase diagrams showed that there existed a distinct region of the Lx phase between ripple gel (Pβ') and liquid crystalline (Lα) phases for multilamellar vesicle bilayers of C12PC and C13PC. The Lx phase of the C12PC bilayer was metastable at all pressures and disappeared at a higher pressure. In the C13PC bilayer, the Lx phase was stable and also disappeared at a higher pressure but its region markedly shrunk. By contrast, the Lx phase was not detected for the C14PC bilayer. Effects of other factors such as vesicle size and solvent substitution on the Lx phase of the C13PC bilayer were also examined. A decrease in vesicle size and solvent substitution from water to 50 wt% ethylene glycol solution promoted the Lx-phase formation as opposed to the effects of acyl-chain elongation and pressurization. The fluorescence data of the C13PC bilayer with different vesicle sizes showed that the Lx phase is caused by the difference of local packing in the bilayer. Considering these facts, we concluded that the Lx phase is an intermediate gel-Lα phase that has gel-phase monolayers with negative curvature and Lα-phase monolayers with positive curvature. The formation mechanism of the Lx-phase in stacked bilayers and dispersed vesicles is also explainable by this difference in packing state.

(Summary) The phase transitions of dipalmitoylphosphatidylglycerol (DPPG) bilayer membrane at high NaCl concentrations under high pressure were investigated to construct the temperature pressure phase diagram and determine phase-transition properties. The constructed phase diagrams exhibited the qualitative resemblance to that of the dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayer membrane: they underwent the gel-phase polymorphism including the pressure-induced bilayer interdigitation. The phase-transition properties of the DPPG bilayer membrane changed in a salt concentration-dependent manner, whereas qualitatively the phase behavior is not affected appreciably by the salt concentration measured. We discussed the salt effect on the DPPG bilayer membrane from the variation in interactions between the polar head group of the PG molecule.

(Summary) We investigated the phase behavior of a binary bilayer membrane of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and stigmasterol (Stig) as a function of the Stig concentration (XSt) by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and fluorescence spectroscopy using 6-propionyl-2-(N,N-dimethylamino)naphthalene (Prodan) as a membrane probe. The DSC results revealed that the pretransition and the main transition are abolished at XSt = ca. 0.08 and ca. 0.50, respectively. The main transition enthalpy DeltaHm of the DPPC Stig binary bilayer decreased with XSt in a non-linear manner, which is contrast to the almost linear decrease in DeltaHm for the DPPC cholesterol (Chol) binary bilayer. This suggests that Stig has a stronger effect of disturbing the chain packing in a gel state and a weaker effect of suppressing the chain melting as compared to Chol. The XSt dependence of the peak width at half height (DeltaT1/2) suggests that a drastic change in the phase behavior occurs at XSt = ca. 0.14, which is similar to the DPPC Chol binary bilayer. The Prodan fluorescence spectra changed depending on the phase state, which was characterized by the wavelength at the emission maximum and allowed us to determine the transition temperatures of the binary bilayers. The compositional phase diagram of the DPPC Stig binary bilayer was found to be similar to that of the DPPC Chol binary bilayer. The phase behavior of the DPPC Stig binary bilayer could be well explained by applying the so-called superlattice view to interpret the phase diagram.

(Summary) The thermotropic phase behavior of the cholesterol (Chol)-containing binary membrane of dihexadecylphosphatidylcholine (DHPC) was investigated as a function of the mole fraction of Chol Xch by DSC and fluoresce spectroscopy using 6-propionyl-2-(N,N-dimethylamino)naphthalene (Prodan). The main-transition enthalpy Hm was almost constant at Xch < ca. 0.05, but it decreased almost linearly with increasing Xch above 0.05 until it reached 0 at Xch = ca. 0.50, suggesting that the interaction between DHPC and Chol is relatively weaker than that between dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and Chol. The Prodan fluorescence spectra changed depending on the phase state, which was characterized by the wavelength at the emission maximum. Particularly, the two-phase state of the interdigitated (LβI) and non-interdigitated gel (Lβ) was sensitively detected as the superposition of the two elementary spectra corresponding to each phase state, allowing us to explain the Xch dependent non-linear behavior of the Chol-induced Lβ phase by introducing a proportionality factor ξ(Xch) and by assuming a simple probabilistic process. By comparing the phase diagram constructed for the DHPC Chol binary membrane with that for the DPPC Chol binary bilayer, a difference was observed in the minimum Xch value for the entire formation of the liquid ordered (Lo) phase. This difference could be explained in terms of the hydrophobic mismatch at the bilayer midplane by taking into account the difference in the capability of hydrogen bonding with the 3β-OH group of Chol due to the presence or absence of the carbonyl oxygens at the glycerol backbone.

(Summary) The variation in phase-transition temperatures of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayer membrane by adding two membrane-active ligands, a long-chain fatty acid (palmitic acid (PA)) and an inhalation anesthetic (halothane (HAL)), was investigated by light-transmittance measurements and fluorometry. By assuming the thermodynamic colligative property for the bilayer membrane at low ligand concentrations, the partitioning behavior of these ligands into the DPPC bilayer membrane was considered. It was proved from the differential partition coefficients between two phases that PA has strong affinity with the gel (lamellar gel) phase in a micro-molal concentration range and makes the bilayer membrane more ordered while HAL has strong affinity with the liquid crystalline phase in a milli-molal concentration range and does the bilayer membrane more disordered. The transfer volumes of both ligands from the aqueous solution to each phase of the DPPC bilayer membrane showed that the preferential partitioning of the PA molecule into the gel (lamellar gel) produces about 20% decrease in transfer volume as compared with the liquid crystalline phase, whereas that of the HAL molecule into the liquid crystalline phase does about twice increase in transfer volume as compared with the gel (ripple gel) phase. Furthermore, changes in thermotropic and barotropic phase behavior of the DPPC bilayer membrane by adding the ligand was discussed from the viewpoint of the ligand partitioning. Reflecting the contrastive partitioning of PA and HAL into the pressure-induced interdigitated gel phase among the gel phases, it was revealed that PA suppresses the formation of the interdigitated gel phase under high pressure while HAL promotes it. These results clearly indicate that each phase of the DPPC bilayer membrane has a potential to recognize various ligand molecules.

(Summary) The phase transitions of N-methylated di-O-hexadecylphosphatidylethanolamines (DHPE, DH-N-methyl-PE (DHMePE) and DH-N,N-dimethyl-PE (DHMe2PE)) were observed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and fluorometry under atmospheric pressure and light-transmittance measurements under high pressure. The DSC thermograms showed that the N-methylated DHPE bilayers underwent the phase transitions from the gel phase to the liquid crystalline (Lα) phase under atmospheric pressure. The gel phase was identified by fluorometry as the lamellar gel (Lβ) phase, and not interdigitated gel (LβI) phase. The gel/Lα transition temperature increased with pressure while decreased stepwise with increasing polar head-group size. This stepwise depression in the transition temperature may be caused by the inverse-proportional hydrogen-bonding capabilities of the head-group to the head-group size. The thermodynamic quantities of the gel/Lα transition were comparable for the N-methylated DHPE bilayers. The pressure-induced LβI phase was not found in these bilayers although the bilayer of di-O-hexadecylphosphatidylcholine (DHPC), which is a kind of N-methylated DHPEs, forms the LβI phase only by hydration under atmospheric pressure. Taking into account that the bilayers of diacyl-homologs of N-methylated DHPEs, N-methylated dipalmitoyl-PEs except for dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), do not form the LβI phase in the whole pressure range investigated but the DPPC bilayer forms the LβI phase under high pressure, we can say that the interdigitation requires a weaker interaction between large-sized head groups like the bulky choline group.

(Summary) The bilayer phase transitions of four diacylphosphatidylethanolamines (PEs) with identical two saturated acyl chains (Cn = 12, 14, 16 and 18) and two PEs with identical two unsaturated acyl chains containing a different kind of double bonds were observed by differential scanning calorimetry under atmospheric pressure and light-transmittance measurements under high pressure. The temperature-pressure phase diagrams for these PE bilayer membranes were constructed from the obtained phase-transition data. The saturated PE bilayer membranes underwent two different phase transitions related to the liquid crystalline (Lα) phase, the transition from the hydrated crystalline (Lc) phase and the chain melting (main) transition, depending on the thermal history. Pressure induced the change in the gel-phase stability of the bilayer membranes of PEs with longer chains at a low pressure. Comparing the thermodynamic quantities of the saturated PE bilayer membranes with those of diacylphosphatidylcholines (PC) bilayer membranes, the PE bilayer membranes showed higher phase-transition temperatures and formed more stable Lc phase, which originates from the strong interaction between polar head groups of PE molecules. On the other hand, the unsaturated PE bilayer membranes underwent the transition from the Lα phase to the inverted hexagonal (HII) phase at a high temperature and this transition showed small thermodynamic quantities but high-pressure responsivity. It turned out that the kind of double bonds markedly affects both bilayer-bilayer and bilayer-nonbilayer transitions and the Lα/HII transition is a volume driven transition for the reconstruction of molecular packing. Further, the phase-transition behavior was explained by chemical potential profiles of bilayer phases.

Dynamic viscoelasticity measurements demonstrated that the gelation begins to be induced by the addition of 1 wt % of water (i.e., fw = 0.01) and that the plateau modulus increases with increasing fw in the fw range up to 0.15. Spin-lattice relaxation time T1 measurements using 1H-NMR technique revealed that there exist at least two different types of water with different T1 values in the ternary gel. By comparing those T1 values with that of the water proton in the mixed solvent, the water with shorter T1 (Water-1) was ascribed to the water molecules dispersed in the mixed solvent contained in the ternary gel. On the other hand, the water with the longer T1 (Water-2) was presumed to exist under the situation where water water interaction is dominant. We hypothesized that Water-2 is localized around the vicinity of cross-linking points and is more relevant to the formation of cross-linking points. Almost a linear relation was observed between the plateau modulus Gc and the weight fraction of Water-2 fWater-2, indicating that the number of cross-linking points increases in proportion to fWater-2 in a constant volume of the ternary gel. Further, the distance between neighboring cross-linking points and the size of the region of Water-2 (i.e., equivalent spherical radius) could be estimated at 15-9.3 nm and 2.1-2.5 nm depending on fWater-2, respectively. All these results support the validity of our hypothesis about Water-2.

(Summary) Complete elucidation of the phase behavior of phospholipid bilayers requires information on the subtransition from the lamellar crystal (Lc) phase to the gel phase. However, for bilayers of saturated diacylphosphatidylcholines (CnPCs), especially longer chain homologs, equilibration in the Lc phase is known to be very slow. In this study, bilayer phase transitions of three CnPCs with longer acyl chains, C19PC, C20PC and C21PC, were observed by differential scanning calorimetry under atmospheric pressure and by light-transmittance measurements under high pressure. Using lipid samples treated by thermal annealing enabled the observation of the sub-, pre- and main transitions of the C19PC and C20PC bilayers under atmospheric pressure. Only the pre- and main transitions could be observed for the C21PC bilayer due to very slow kinetics of the Lc phase formation for lipids with long acyl chains. The temperature and pressure phase diagrams constructed and phase-transitions quantities (enthalpy, entropy and volume changes) evaluated for these bilayers were compared with one another and with those of bilayers of the CnPC homologs examined in previous studies. These results allowed us (1) to clarify the temperature- and pressure-dependent phase sequence and phase stability of the CnPC (n = 12 22) bilayers as a function of the hydrophobicity of the molecules, (2) to prove the presence of a shorter and a longer limit (n = 13 and 21) in the acyl-chain length for the pressure-induced bilayer interdigitation and (3) to reveal the chain-length dependence of the thermodynamic quantities of the subtransitions including the volume change.

(Summary) We investigated the bilayer interdigitation of diacylphosphatidylcholines (CnPCs) with long acyl chains (n = 19 - 22) under high pressure. The temperature-pressure phase diagrams of the CnPC bilayers were constructed by the methods of differential scanning calorimetry and high-pressure light transmittance. We confirmed the bilayer interdigitation for CnPCs (n = 19 - 21) under high pressure. On the other hand, the C22PC bilayer showed peculiar behavior: two transitions were observed under atmospheric pressure while one transition under high pressure. To identify the low-temperature phase of the C22PC bilayer, we performed small angle neutron scattering measurements under atmospheric pressure and fluorescence measurements under high pressure. From these results, the phase was identified as the interdigitated gel (LβI) phase. Considering our previous results, it turned out that the acyl-chain length of CnPC that exhibits the pressure-induced interdigitation is limited within n = 14 - 21. The present results definitely indicate that the bilayer interdigitation is governed by the hydrophobic interaction as well as the hydrophilic interaction of the PC molecule in the bilayer.

(Summary) By combination of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and fluorescence spectroscopy of 6-propionyl-2-(dimethylamino)naphthalene (Prodan), we elucidated the thermotropic phase behavior of hydrogenated soybean phosphatidylcholine (HSPC)-cholesterol binary liposome membrane which has similar lipid composition to Doxil®, the widely used liposome product in treatment of various tumors. We found that the characteristic points at cholesterol mole fraction (Xch)=0.023 and 0.077 correspond to the hexagonal lattice, in which cholesterol molecules are considered to be regularly distributed in all regions of HSPC lipid bilayer with 1 : 42 and 1 : 12 units, respectively, as static averaged structures. Apparent endothermic peak disappeared at Xch=0.40 in the DSC thermograms, indicating the existence of single liquid ordered phase at Xch>0.40. In addition, fluorescence measurements of Prodan and its lauroyl derivative in poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-modified liposomes indicated that PEG modification has a negligible effect on the phase behavior of HSPC-cholesterol binary liposome membrane. These results may provide useful information in developing novel liposome products whose stability and encapsulated drug release are controlled.

(Summary) Thermotropic phase behavior of diacylphosphatidylcholine (CnPC) cholesterol binary bilayers (n = 14 16) was examined by fluorescence spectroscopy using 6-propionyl-2-(dimethylamino)naphthalene (Prodan) and differential scanning calorimetry. The former technique can detect structural changes of the bilayer in response to the changes in polarity around Prodan molecules partitioned in a relatively hydrophilic region of the bilayer, while the latter is sensitive to the conformational changes of the acyl chains. On the basis of the data from both techniques, we propose possible temperature T cholesterol composition Xch phase diagrams for these binary bilayers. A notable feature of our phase diagrams, including our previous results for C17PC and C18PC, is that there is a peritectic-like point around Xch = 0.15, which can be interpreted as indicating the formation of a 1:6-complex of cholesterol and CnPCs within the binary bilayer irrespective of the acyl chain length. We could give a reasonable explanation for such complex formation using the modified superlattice view. Our results also showed that the Xch value of the abolition of the main transition is almost constant for n = 14 17 (ca. 0.33), while it increases to ca.0.50 for n = 18. By contrast, a biphasic n-dependence of Xch was observed for the abolition of the pretransition, suggesting that there are at least two antagonistic n-dependent factors. We speculate that this could be explained by the enhancement of the van der Waals interaction with increases in n and the weakening of the repulsion between the neighboring headgroups with decreases in n.

(Summary) The myristoylpalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (MPPC) bilayer membrane shows a complicated temperature-pressure phase diagram. The large portion of the lamellar gel (L(β)'), ripple gel (P(β)'), and pressure-induced gel (L(β)I) phases exist as metastable phases due to the extremely stable subgel (L(c)) phase. The stable L(c) phase enables us to examine the properties of the L(c) phase. The phases of the MPPC bilayers under atmospheric and high pressures were studied by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and fluorescence spectroscopy using a polarity-sensitive fluorescent probe Prodan. The SANS measurements clearly demonstrated the existence of the metastable L(β)I phase with the smallest lamellar repeat distance. From a second-derivative analysis of the fluorescence data, the line shape for the L(c) phase under high pressure was characterized by a broad peak with a minimum of ca. 460 nm. The line shapes and the minimum intensity wavelength (λ''(min)) values changed with pressure, indicating that the L(c) phase has highly pressure-sensible structure. The λ''(min) values of the L(c) phase spectra were split into ca. 430 and 500 nm in the L(β)I phase region, which corresponds to the formation of a interdigitated subgel L(c) (L(c)I) phase. Moreover, the phase transitions related to the L(c) phase were reversible transitions under high pressure. Taking into account the fluorescence behavior of Prodan for the L(c) phase, we concluded that the structure of the L(c) phase is highly probably a staggered structure, which can transform into the L(c)I phase easily.

(Summary) We investigated the thermotropic volume behavior of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC), dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and dihexadecylphosphatidylcholine (DHPC) membranes using pressure perturbation calorimetry (PPC) and densitometry. The ln φ(2) vs temperature curves (φ(2): apparent molar volume of phospholipid) obtained from the PPC data using an analysis method that we developed agreed with the results from the density measurements for these lipids within the relative difference of about 0.62%. From those curves, the volume changes with the main transition were estimated at 18.0±0.49, 23.5±2.33 and 23.0±0.33 cm(3) mol(-1) for DMPC, DPPC and DHPC, respectively. For DPPC and DMPC, the average volume per methylene group of the hydrocarbon chains v(CH2) calculated by referring to the procedure by Nagle and Wilkinson was consistent with the previous result, which indicates that the DPPC bilayer in the gel state has denser hydrophobic bilayer core than the DMPC bilayer. For DHPC, the volume of the headgroup region v(H) was calculated to be 244 Å(3) by assuming that v(CH2) of DHPC equals that of DPPC above 45°C. This value was comparable to that of DPPC when the volume of the carbonyl groups was considered, which may signify that there is no significant conformational difference in the polar headgroups of both phospholipids. However, it was suggested from the consideration on v(H) of DHPC at 20°C that expansion of the headgroup region should occur as the interdigitated structure is formed, which means some conformational change of the headgroup region is induced by the interdigitation.

(Summary) The packing states in phosphatidylcholine (PC) bilayers under high pressure were studied from fluorescence measurements using a polarity-sensitive probe Prodan. By using the Prodan fluorescence data, three-dimensional image plots, which can visually evaluate the bilayer packing, were constructed for the C16PC bilayer. It turned out from the shape of contours in the image plot constructed by the second-derivative spectra that the Prodan molecules can be distributed into multiple sites in the bilayer and move around the head-group region depending on the phase state. Furthermore, comparing the plot to those for the C17PC and C18PC bilayers, the slight difference in hydrophobicity among the PC molecules produced a marked difference in quantity of the Prodan molecules distributed among the bilayer gel, nonbilayer gel, and liquid crystalline phases of the PC membranes. The present study shows that the imaging using Prodan is useful for the evaluation of lipid bilayer packing.

(Summary) The bilayer phase transitions of dialkyldimethylammonium bromides (2C(n)Br; n = 12, 14, 16) were observed by differential scanning calorimetry and high-pressure light-transmittance measurements. Under atmospheric pressure, the 2C(12)Br bilayer membrane underwent the stable transition from the lamellar crystal (L(c)) phase to the liquid crystalline (L(α)) phase. The 2C(14)Br bilayer underwent the main transition from the metastable lamellar gel (L(β)) phase to the metastable L(α) phase in addition to the stable L(c)/L(α) transition. For the 2C(16)Br bilayer, moreover, three kinds of phase transitions were observed: the metastable main transition, the metastable transition from the metastable lamellar crystal (L(c(2))) phase to the metastable L(α) phase, and the stable lamellar crystal (L(c(1)))/L(α) transition. The temperatures of all the phase transitions elevated almost linearly with increasing pressure. The temperature (T)-pressure (p) phase diagrams of the 2C(12)Br and 2C(14)Br bilayers were simple, but that of the 2C(16)Br bilayer was complex; that is, the T-p curves for the metastable main transition and the L(c(2))/L(α) transition intersect at ca. 25 MPa, which means the inversion of the relative phase stability between the metastable phases of L(β) and L(c(2)) above and below the pressure. Moreover, the T-p curve of the L(c(2))/L(α) transition was separated into two curves under high pressure, and as a result, the pressure-induced L(c(2P)) phase appeared in between. Thermodynamic quantities for phase transitions of the 2C(n)Br bilayers increased with an increase in alkyl-chain length. The chain-length dependence of the phase-transition temperature for all kinds of transitions observed suggests that the stable L(c(1))/L(α) transition incorporates the metastable L(c(2))/L(α) transition in the bilayers of 2C(n)Br with shorter alkyl chains, and the main-transition of the 2C(12)Br bilayer would occur at a temperature below 0 °C.

(Summary) The bilayer phase behavior of asymmetric phospholipids, palmitoylstearoylphosphatidylcholine (PSPC) and stearoylpalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (SPPC), with different vesicle sizes (large multilamellar vesicle (LMV) and giant multilamellar vesicle (GMV)) was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy using a polarity-sensitive fluorescent probe Prodan under high pressure. The results were compared with those of a symmetric phospholipid, diheptadecanoyl PC (C17PC). The difference in phase transitions of the PSPC and SPPC bilayers and in thermodynamic quantities of the transitions was hardly observed between LMV and GMV as the case of the C17PC bilayer. On the other hand, the Prodan fluorescence showed clear differences between LMV and GMV of the asymmetric PC bilayers. From the second derivative of Prodan fluorescence spectra, the three dimensional image plots in which we can clearly see the location of Prodan in the bilayer membrane as blue valleys were constructed for LMV and GMV under high pressure. We revealed from the plots that the bilayer packing is significantly dependent on not only the vesicle size but also the acyl-chain asymmetry of PC molecule in addition to the phase states. It was found that the packing of the gel phases of the asymmetric PC bilayers is weaker than that of the symmetric PC bilayer, and the size of vesicle affects the packing of the interdigitated gel phase the most markedly among three gel phases. This study suggests that the Prodan molecules can detect the effect of vesicle size on the phase states for the asymmetric PC bilayers, and they become a useful indicator for various membrane properties, especially bilayer interdigitation.

(Summary) Bilayer phase transitions of dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide (2C(18)Br) and chloride (2C(18)Cl) were observed by differential scanning calorimetry and high-pressure light-transmittance measurements. The 2C(18)Br bilayer membrane showed different kinds of transitions depending on preparation methods of samples under atmospheric pressure. Under certain conditions, the 2C(18)Br bilayer underwent three kinds of transitions, the metastable transition from the metastable lamellar crystal (L(c(2))) phase to the metastable lamellar gel (L(β)) phase at 35.4 °C, the metastable main transition from the metastable L(β) phase to the metastable liquid crystalline (L(α)) phase at 44.5 °C, and the stable transition from the stable lamellar crystal (L(c(1))) phase to the stable L(α) phase at 52.8 °C. On the contrary, the 2C(18)Cl bilayer underwent two kinds of transitions, the stable transition from the stable L(c) phase to the stable L(β) phase at 19.7 °C and the stable main transition from the stable L(β) phase to the stable L(α) phase at 39.9 °C. The temperatures of the phase transitions of the 2C(18)Br and 2C(18)Cl bilayers were almost linearly elevated by applying pressure. It was found from the temperature (T)-pressure (p) phase diagram of the 2C(18)Br bilayer that the T-p curves for the main transition and the L(c(1))/L(α) transition intersect at ca. 130 MPa because of the larger slope of the former transition curve. On the other hand, the T-p phase diagram of the 2C(18)Cl bilayer took a simple shape. The thermodynamic properties for the main transition of the 2C(18)Br and 2C(18)Cl bilayers were comparable to each other, whereas those for the L(c(1))/L(α) transition of the 2C(18)Br bilayer showed considerably high values, signifying that the L(c(1)) phase of the 2C(18)Br bilayer is extremely stable. These differences observed in both bilayers are attributable to the difference in interaction between a surfactant and its counterion.

(Summary) The bilayer phase behavior of diheptadecanoylphosphatidylcholine (C17PC) with different vesicle sizes (large multilamellar vesicle (LMV) and giant multilamellar vesicle (GMV)) was investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy using a polarity-sensitive fluorescent probe Prodan under atmospheric and high pressures. The difference in phase transitions and thermodynamic quantities of the transition was hardly observed between LMV and GMV used here. On the contrary, the Prodan fluorescence in the bilayer membranes changed depending on the size of vesicles as well as on the phase states. From the second derivative of fluorescence spectra, the three-dimensional image plots in which we can see the location of Prodan in the bilayer membrane as blue valleys were constructed for LMV and GMV under atmospheric pressure. The following characteristic behavior was found: (1) the Prodan molecules in GMV can be distributed to not only adjacent glycerol backbone region, but also near bulk-water region in the lamellar gel or ripple gel phase; (2) the blue valleys of GMV became deeper than those of LMV because of the greater surface density of the Prodan molecules per unit area of GMV than LMV; (3) the liquid crystalline phase of the bilayer excludes the Prodan molecules to a more hydrophilic region at the membrane surface with an increase in vesicle size; (4) the accurate information as to the phase transitions is gradually lost with increasing vesicle size. Under the high-pressure condition, the difference in Prodan fluorescence between LMV and GMV was essentially the same as the difference under atmospheric pressure except for the existence of the pressure-induced interdigitated gel phase. Further, we found that Prodan fluorescence spectra in the interdigitated gel phase were especially affected by the size of vesicles. This study revealed that the Prodan molecules can move around the headgroup region by responding not only to the phase state but also to the vesicle size, and they become a useful membrane probe, detecting important membrane properties such as the packing stress.

(Summary) Native celluloses from different origins show variant solubility in lithium chloride/amide solvent system. The solubility of some of native cellulose is enhanced by solvent exchange procedure, namely sequential immersion in water, acetone, and amide solvents. In order to investigate the effect of the solvent exchange on the solubility and the solid structure of native celluloses, small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), cross-polarized/magic angle spinning (CP/MAS) 13C solid-state NMR, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements were performed. It was revealed from SAXS and solid-state NMR that the solvent exchange significantly affects the submicron-scale solid structure of wood and cotton celluloses. On the other hand, that of microbial and tunicate celluloses is less affected by the solvent exchange. The structural change induced by the solvent exchange is relevant to the enhancement of the solubility, which is supported by the fact that the XPS detected a vestige of dimethylacetamide (DMAc) molecules strongly absorbed on the surface of the cellulose sample even under an extreme vacuum condition.

(Summary) The bilayer phase behavior of symmetric and asymmetric phosphatidylcholines (PCs), 1,2-diheptadecanoyl-PC (C17PC), 1-palmitoyl-2-stearoyl-PC (PSPC), and 1-stearoyl-2-palmitoyl-PC (SPPC), with different vesicle sizes were investigated by a high-pressure fluorescence method using the polarity-sensitive fluorescent probe Prodan. The second derivative of fluorescence spectra for all the PCs of small-sized vesicle showed four minima characteristic of four membrane states on the spectra irrespective of the acyl-chain symmetry, whereas those of large-sized vesicle had one more minimum originating from the most hydrophilic site at the membrane surface. These findings indicate that Prodan molecules can distribute into multiple sites in the bilayer and move around the head-group region depending on the vesicle size. The behavior of the spectra in the SPPC bilayer suggested that the interdigitated gel phase had a less polar "pocket" formed by a space between uneven terminal methyl ends of the sn-1 and sn-2 chains. It turned out that the curvature of vesicles affects the distribution of the Prodan molecules in all phases, more particularly in the interdigitated gel phase.

(Summary) The bilayer phase transitions of mixed-chain lipids with monounsaturated acyl chain in the sn-2 position, 1-myristoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (MOPC), 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC), and 1-stearoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (SOPC), and with a polyunsaturated acyl chain in the sn-2 position, 1-stearoyl-2-linoleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (SLPC), 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (SAPC), and 1-stearoyl-2-docosahexaenoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (SDPC), were observed by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) under ambient pressure and by light-transmittance measurements under high pressure. The DSC thermogram for each lipid bilayer showed only one transition between the lamellar gel and liquid crystalline phases. The introduction of one or two cis double bonds into the sn-2 acyl chain caused the significant depression of the main-transition temperature and an obvious decrease of enthalpy and volume changes associated with the transition. These features are attributable to loose packing of saturated and unsaturated acyl chains in the bilayer gel phase. The existence of four or six double bonds in the sn-2 chain produced no further decrease in the transition temperature, and in fact six double bonds caused a slight increase in the transition temperature. Thermodynamic properties associated with the bilayer phase transition were discussed.

(Summary) Inhibitions of amphiphiles with a long chain (alcohols with carbon number of 10, 12, 14, 16 and the corresponding fatty acids) on the antigen-antibody reaction between fluorescent probe (fluorescein (FL)) and anti-fluorescent probe monoclonal antibody (immunoglobulin G (IgG)-49) were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopy. The resulting inhibition modes were compared with those of specific inhibitors, 5- and 6-aminofluoresceins (5- and 6-FLNH(2)). In the presence of all inhibitors, the fluorescence quenching of FL as the result of inhibitor binding to IgG-49 was hindered in an inhibitor concentration-dependent manner. The values of IC(50) and Hill number for the inhibitors were determined from dose-response curves of the quenching inhibition. The IC(50) values of the alcohols were much more dependent on the chain length than those of the fatty acids although all the values were in orders of microM. The Hill numbers of both kinds of inhibitors became larger values than 1, but they had different values for a series of alcohols and fatty acids, respectively. By contrast, the IC(50) values of 5- and 6-FLNH(2) were in orders of nM and the Hill numbers became smaller values than 1. Since the Lineweaver-Burk plots produced an intersection point on the intercept of the X-axis for the long-chain inhibitors with carbon number of 14 while did that on the intercept of the Y-axis for 6-FLNH(2), respectively, we judged the inhibition modes of the former as non-competitive ones and those of the latter as a competitive one. Further, the effect of pressure on the inhibition by C(14)OH, C(13)COOH and 5-FLNH(2) was examined, and the standard volume changes of IgG-49 for the inhibitor binding were calculated from the Johnson-Eyring plots. The volume change for 5-FLNH(2) was smaller than those for C(14)OH and C(13)COOH although they became all negative. This suggests that the volume of IgG-49 shrinks by the addition of these inhibitors, and IgG-49 is not relevant to a model protein for the molecular mechanism of anesthesia.

(Summary) The alignment of the sn-1 and sn-2 acyl chains at the terminal methyl ends generally produces significant influence on the thermodynamic properties of the bilayer phase transitions. We investigated the bilayer phase behavior of asymmetric phospholipids, myristoylpalmitoylphosphatidylcholine and palmitoylmyristoylphosphatidylcholine, by high-pressure light-transmittance and Prodan-fluorescence techniques and differential scanning calorimetry. Constructed temperature-pressure phase diagrams revealed that no stable Lbeta' phase can exist in the whole pressure range because of the formation of the most stable Lc phase. Nevertheless, the pretransition, the detection of which is severely hampered by the exceptionally prompt formation of the Lc phase, was successfully observed. Moreover, the effect of the total and difference of the sn-1 and sn-2 acyl chain lengths on minimal interdigitation pressure (MIP) was summarized in a MIP vs. chain-length inequivalence parameter plot, where the effect was proved to be classified in three zones depending on the alignment of both terminal methyl ends.

(Summary) The bilayer phase transitions of six kinds of mixed-chain phosphatidylcholines (PCs) with an unsaturated acyl chain in the sn-1 or sn-2 position, 1-oleoyl-2-stearoyl- (OSPC), 1-stearoyl-2-oleoyl- (SOPC), 1-oleoyl-2-palmitoyl- (OPPC), 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl- (POPC), 1-oleoyl-2-myristoyl- (OMPC) and 1-myristoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (MOPC), were observed by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and high-pressure light transmittance measurements. Bilayer membranes of SOPC, POPC and MOPC with an unsaturated acyl chain in the sn-2 position exhibited only one phase transition, which was identified as the main transition between the lamellar gel (L(beta)) and liquid crystalline (L(alpha)) phases. On the other hand, the bilayer membranes of OSPC, OPPC and OMPC with an unsaturated acyl chain in the sn-1 position exhibited not only the main transition but also a transition from the lamellar crystal (L(c)) to the L(beta) (or L(alpha)) phase. The stability of their gel phases was markedly affected by pressure and chain length of the saturated acyl chain in the sn-2 position. Considering the effective chain lengths of unsaturated mixed-chain PCs, the difference in the effective chain length between the sn-1 and sn-2 acyl chains was proven to be closely related to the temperature difference of the main transition. That is, a mismatch of the effective chain length promotes a temperature difference of the main transition between the positional isomers. Anomalously small volume changes of the L(c)/L(alpha) transition for the OPPC and OMPC bilayers were found despite their large enthalpy changes. This behavior is attributable to the existence of a cis double bond and to significant inequivalence between the sn-1 and sn-2 acyl chains, which brings about a small volume change for chain melting due to loose chain packing, corresponding to a large partial molar volume, even in the L(c) phase. Further, the bilayer behavior of unsaturated mixed-chain PCs containing an unsaturated acyl chain in the sn-1 or sn-2 position was well explained by the chemical-potential diagram of a lipid in each phase.

(Summary) The effects of long-chain fatty acids (four saturated and two unsaturated fatty acids, one derivative) on phase transitions of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) bilayer membranes were examined in the low concentration region, and the results were compared with those for an inhalation anesthetic. The effects of all fatty acids on the pre- and main-transition temperatures of the DPPC bilayer membrane appeared in the concentration range of microM order while that of the anesthetic appeared in the mM order. The appearance modes of these ligand actions were significantly different from one another. The three differential partition coefficients of the ligands between two phases of the DPPC bilayer membrane were evaluated by applying the thermodynamic equation to the variation of the phase-transition temperatures. The DPPC bilayer membranes showed the different receptivity for the ligands; the saturated fatty acids had an affinity for gel phase whereas unsaturated fatty acids and an anesthetic had an affinity for liquid-crystalline phase to the contrary. In particular, the receptivity for the ligands in the gel phase markedly changed depending on kinds of ligands. The interaction modes between the DPPC and fatty acid molecules in the gel phase were considered from the hexagonal lattice model. The disappearance compositions of the pretransition by the fatty acids coincided with the compositions at which the membrane is all covered by the units in each of which two fatty acids molecules are regularly distributed in the hexagonal lattice in a different way, and the distribution depended on the chain length and existence of a double bond for the fatty acids. The interpretation did not hold for the case of the anesthetic at all, which proved that a number of anesthetic molecules act the surface region of the bilayer membrane nonspecifically. The present study clearly implies that DPPC bilayer membranes have high ability to recognize kinds of ligand molecules and can discriminate among them with specific interaction by the membrane states.

(Summary) We investigated the thermotropic and barotropic bilayer phase behavior of 1-myristoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (MOPC) and 1-oleoyl-2-myristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (OMPC) by means of the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and high-pressure light-transmittance technique. Water could be used as a solvent for measurements at high pressures because of the elevation of the transition temperatures above 0 degrees C by pressurization, whereas aqueous 50 wt.% ethylene glycol solution was used mainly for those at low pressures. Only one phase transition was observed in the DSC thermogram of the MOPC bilayer membrane as an endothermic peak, and also observed at high pressures as an abrupt change of the light-transmittance. The transition was assigned as a main transition between the lamellar gel (L(beta)) and liquid-crystalline (L(alpha)) phases on the basis of the values of enthalpy change (DeltaH) and slope of the transition temperature with respect to pressure (dT/dP). The DSC thermogram of the OMPC bilayer membrane similarly showed a single endothermic peak but two kinds of phase transitions were observed at different temperatures in the light-transmittance profile at high pressures. The extrapolation of the lower-temperature transition in the high-pressure range to an ambient pressure coincided with the transition observed in the DSC thermogram. This transition was identified as a transition between the lamellar crystal (L(c)) and L(alpha) (or L(beta)) phases from the DeltaH and dT/dP values. The higher-temperature transition, appearing only at high pressures, was identified as the L(beta)/L(alpha) transition considering the topological resemblance of its temperature-pressure phase diagram as that of the dioleoylphosphatidylcholine bilayer membrane. The phase diagram of the OMPC bilayer membrane demonstrated that the L(beta) phase cannot exist at pressures below ca. 190 MPa while it can exist stably in a finite temperature range at pressures above the pressure.

(Summary) We investigated the phase behavior of cholesterol/diheptadecanoylphosphatidylcholine (C17:0-PC) binary bilayer membrane as a function of the cholesterol composition (X(ch)) by fluorescence spectroscopy using 6-propionyl-2-(dimethylamino)naphthalene (Prodan) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The fluorescence spectra showed that the wavelength at the maximum intensity (lambda(max)) changed depending on the bilayer state: ca. 440 nm for the lamellar gel (L'(beta) or L(beta)) and the liquid ordered (L(o)) phases and ca. 490 nm for the liquid-crystalline (L(alpha)) phase. The transition temperatures were determined from the temperature dependence of lambda(max) and endothermic peaks of the DSC thermograms. Both measurements showed that the pre- and main transition disappear around X(ch)=0.05 and 0.30, respectively. The constructed temperature-X(ch) phase diagram resembled a typical phase diagram for a eutectic binary mixture containing a peritectic point. The presence of a peritectic point at X(ch)=0.15 suggested that a complex of cholesterol and C17:0-PC is stoichiometrically formed in the gel phase. Consideration based on the hexagonal lattice model revealed that the compositions of 0.05 and 0.15 correspond to the bilayer states where cholesterol molecules are regularly distributed in different ways. The former is nearly equal to the composition for the membrane occupied entirely with Units (1:18), composed of a cholesterol and 18 surrounding C17:0-PC molecules within the next-next nearest neighbor sites. The latter is represented by a Unit (1:6), including a cholesterol and 6 surrounding C17:0-PC molecules. Further, the disappearance of the main transition at X(ch)=0.30 indicates that the pure L(o) phase can exist in X(ch)>0.30. The eutectic behavior observed in the phase diagram was explainable in terms of phase separation between two different types of regions with different types of regular distributions of cholesterol.

Nobutake Tamai, Maiko Uemura, Tetsuya Takeichi, Masaki GOTO, Hitoshi Matsuki and Shoji Kaneshina : A new interpretation of eutectic behavior for distearoylphosphatidylcholine-cholesterol binary bilayer membrane, Biophysical Chemistry, Vol.135, No.1-3, 95-101, 2008. (Summary) We investigated the thermotropic phase behavior of the distearoylphosphatidylcholine (DSPC)-cholesterol binary bilayer membrane as a function of the cholesterol composition (X(ch)) by fluorescence spectroscopy using 6-propionyl-2-(dimethylamino)naphthalene (Prodan) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The fluorescence spectra, each of which has a single maximum, showed that the wavelength at the maximum intensity (lambda(max)) changed depending on the bilayer state: ca. 440 nm for the lamellar gel (L(beta)' or L(beta)) and the liquid ordered (L(o)) phases, ca. 470 nm for the ripple gel (P(beta)') phase and ca. 490 nm for the liquid crystalline (L(alpha)) phase, respectively. The transition temperatures were determined from the temperature dependences of the lambda(max) and endothermic peaks of the DSC thermograms. Both measurements showed that the pretransition disappears around X(ch)=0.035. The constructed temperature-X(ch) phase diagram indicated that the phase behavior of the binary bilayer membrane at X(ch)< or =0.15 is similar to that of general liquid-solid equilibrium for a binary system where both components are completely miscible in the liquid phase and completely immiscible in the solid phase. It was also revealed that the diagram has two characteristic points: a congruent melting point at X(ch)=0.08 and a peritectic-like point at X(ch)=0.15. The hexagonal lattice model was used for the interpretation of the phase behavior of the binary bilayer membrane. These characteristic compositions well correspond to the bilayer states in each of which cholesterol molecules are regularly distributed in the hexagonal lattice in a different way. That is, each composition of 0.035, 0.08 and 0.15 is nearly equal to that for the binary bilayer membrane which is entirely occupied with units, each composed of a cholesterol and 30 surrounding DSPC molecules within the next-next-next nearest neighbor sites (Unit (1:30): L(beta)(1:30)), with units, each of a cholesterol and 12 surrounding DSPC molecules within the next nearest sites (Unit (1:12): L(beta)(1:12)) or with units, each of a cholesterol and 6 surrounding DSPC molecules at the nearest neighbor sites (Unit (1:6): L(beta)(1:6)), respectively. Therefore, the eutectic behavior observed in the phase diagram was fully explainable in terms of a kind of phase separation between two different types of regions with different types of regular distributions of cholesterol. Further, the L(o) phase was found in the higher X(ch)-region (X(ch)>0.15). No endothermic peak over the temperature range from 10 to 80 degrees C at X(ch)=0.50 suggested that the single L(o) phase can exist at X(ch)>0.50.

(Summary) The bilayer phase transitions of dilauroylphosphatidylcholine (DLPC), containing two linear acyl chains with 12 carbon atoms, were observed by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) under ambient pressure and light transmittance under high pressure. When the heating scan for the DLPC bilayer in 50 wt.% aqueous ethylene glycol (EG) solution began at -30 degrees C after cold storage, the DSC thermogram showed two endothermic peaks at 1.7 and 4.5 degrees C, which correspond to the transition from the lamellar crystalline (Lc) phase to the intermediate liquid crystalline (Lx) phase and the transition from the Lx phase to the liquid crystalline (L) phase, respectively. Extremely large enthalpy change (32.9 kJ mol(-1)) is characteristic of the Lc/Lx phase transition. The DSC thermogram for the heating scan beginning from -10 degrees C showed a single endothermic peak with 9.2 kJ mol(-1) at -0.4 degrees C, which was assigned as the so-called main transition between the metastable ripple gel (P'(beta)) and metastable Lalpha phases. The DLPC bilayer under high pressure underwent three kinds of transitions in EG solution, whereas only one transition was observed in water under high pressure. The middle-temperature transition in EG solution could be assigned to the main transition because of its consistency with the main transition in water. The lower-temperature transition is probably assigned as transition from the Lc phase to the P'(beta) phase. Since the slope (dT/dp) of the Lc/P'(beta) phase boundary is smaller than that for the main transition, the Lc/P'(beta) phase boundary and the main transition curves crossed each other at 40 MPa on the temperature-pressure phase diagram. The higher-temperature transition in EG solution refers to the transition from the Lx phase to the Lalpha phase. The Lx phase disappeared at about 180 MPa, and the direct transition from the P'(beta) phase to the Lalpha phase was observed at high pressures above 180 MPa.

(Summary) The bilayer phase transitions of palmitoylstearoyl-phosphatidylcholine (PSPC), diheptadecanoyl-PC (C17PC) and stearoylpalmitoyl-PC (SPPC) which have the same total carbon numbers in the two acyl chains were observed by differential scanning calorimetry and high-pressure optical method. As the temperature increased, these bilayers exhibited four phases of the subgel (Lc), lamellar gel (L beta'), ripple gel (P beta') and liquid crystal (L alpha), in turn. The Lc phase was observed only in the first heating scan after cold storage. The temperatures of the phase transitions were almost linearly elevated by applying pressure. The temperature-pressure phase diagrams and the thermodynamic quantities associated with the phase transitions were compared among the lipid bilayers. For all the bilayers studied, the pressure-induced interdigitated gel (L beta I) phase appeared above the critical interdigitation pressure (CIP) between the L beta' and P beta' phases. The CIPs for the PSPC, C17PC and SPPC bilayers were found to be 50.6, 79.1 and 93.0 MPa, respectively. Contribution of two acyl chains to thermodynamic properties for the phase transitions of asymmetric PSPC and SPPC bilayers was not even. The sn-2 acyl chain lengths of asymmetric PCs governed primarily the bilayer properties. The fluorescence spectra of Prodan in lipid bilayers showed the emission maxima characteristic of bilayer phases, which were dependent on the location of Prodan in the bilayers. Second derivative of fluorescent spectrum exhibited the original emission spectrum of Prodan to be composed of the distribution of Prodan into multiple locations in the lipid bilayer. The F''497/F''430 value, a ratio of second derivative of fluorescence intensity at 497 nm to that at 430 nm, is decisive evidence whether bilayer interdigitation will occur. With respect to the L beta'/L beta I phase transition in the SPPC bilayer, the emission maximum of Prodan exhibited the narrow-range red-shift from 441 to 449 nm, indicating that the L beta I phase in the SPPC bilayer has a less polar "pocket" formed by a space between uneven terminal methyl ends of the sn-1 and sn-2 chains, in which the Prodan molecule remains stably.

(Summary) The bilayer phase transitions of four kinds of unsaturated phospholipids with different-sized polar head groups, dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE), dioleoylphosphatidyl-N-methylethanolamine (DOMePE), dioleoylphosphatidyl-N,N-dimethylethanolamine (DOMe2PE) and dioleoylphosphatidylcholine (DOPC), were observed by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and high-pressure light-transmittance. DSC thermogram and light-transmittance curve for each phospholipid vesicle solution exhibited only one phase transition under ambient pressure, respectively. The light-transmittance of DOPC solution at pressure higher than 234 MPa abruptly increased stepwise at two temperatures, which corresponds to the appearance of stable subgel and lamellar gel phases under high pressure in addition to the liquid crystal phase. The constructed temperature (T)-pressure (p) phase diagrams were compared among these phospholipids. The phase-transition temperatures of the phospholipids decreased stepwise by N-methylation of the head group. The slops of the T-p phase boundary (dT/dp) of DOPE, DOMePE and DOMe2PE bilayers (0.127-0.145 K MPa-1) were found to be close to that of the transition from the lamellar crystal (or subgel; Lc) phase to the liquid crystal (Lalpha) phase for DOPC bilayer (0.131 K MPa-1). On the other hand, the dT/dp value of the main transition from the lamellar gel (Lbeta) phase to the Lalpha phase for DOPC bilayer (0.233 K MPa-1) was significantly different from that of the Lc/Lalpha transition, hence both curves intersected with each other at 234 MPa. The thermodynamic quantities associated with the phase transition of DOPE, DOMePE and DOMe2PE bilayers had also similar values to those for the Lc/Lalpha transition of DOPC bilayer. Taking into account of the values of transition temperature, dT/dp and thermodynamic quantities compared with the corresponding results of saturated phospholipids, we identified the phase transitions observed in the DOPE, DOMePE and DOMe2PE bilayers as the transition from the Lc phase to the Lalpha phase although they have been regarded as the main transition in the previous studies. The Lbeta phase is probably unstable for DOPE, DOMePE and DOMe2PE bilayers at all pressures, it exists as a metastable phase at pressures below 234 MPa while as a stable phase at pressures above 234 MPa in DOPC bilayer. The difference in phase stability among the phospholipid bilayers is originated from that in hydration structure of the polar head groups.

(Summary) The phase transition between the lamellar liquid crystal (Lalpha) phase and the inverted hexagonal (H(II)) phase of dioleoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE) in aqueous NaCl solutions was observed by means of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) under ambient pressure and light-transmittance technique under high pressure. The pressure dependence of the transition temperature (dT/dp) and the thermodynamic quantities for the Lalpha/H(II) transition were compared with those of another phase transition found in the DOPE bilayer membrane, which is the transition from the lamellar crystal (Lc) phase to the Lalpha phase. The dT/dp value of the Lalpha/H(II) transition was about 3.5 times as large as that of the Lc/Lalpha transition while the thermodynamic quantities were significantly smaller than those of the latter to the contrary. Comparing the enthalpy and volume behavior of the Lalpha/H(II) transition with that of the Lc/Lalpha transition, we concluded that the Lalpha/H(II) transition can be regarded as the volume-controlled transition for the reconstruction of molecular packing.

(Summary) The effect of mercelization on the cellulose solution was investigated in terms of rheological and dilute solution properties in 8 wt % LiCl/N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc). Cotton lint, cotton linter, and dissolving pulp were used for native cellulose samples. Static light scattering (SLS) measurements show that the second virial coefficient, A2, of the cellulose solutions decreased by the mercelization, indicating that the affinity between cellulose and the solvent molecules decreased by mercelization. A long time relaxation was found only for the mercelized cellulose solution by viscoelastic measurements for semidilute solutions. This indicates that some heterogeneous structures were formed in the mercelized cellulose solution. Some aggregate structure, which have slow decay time, were observed in the 0.5 wt % mercelized cellulose solution by dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements. According to these results, the low affinity between cellulose and the solvent makes some aggregate structures in the mercelized cellulose solutions in 8 wt % LiCl/DMAc above the overlap concentration.

(Summary) Solution properties and molecular structure of tunicate cellulose (TC), an animal cellulose from Halocynthia roretzi, were investigated in terms of rheological and dilute solution properties. The solvent used is 8 wt % LiCl/1,3-dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone (DMI). A solution of dissolving pulp (DP), derived from plant, was also used for comparison. The weight-average molecular weight, Mw, and the limiting viscosity number, [eta], of the TC were evaluated to be 413 x 10(6) and 2645 mL/g, respectively. The TC solution showed the same concentration dependence of GN (GN=5.49 x 10(6)phiw(2.1)4 Pa; phiw: weight fraction of cellulose in solution; GN: plateau modulus) as the DP solution and, moreover, also as the solution of cotton linter (CC) in 8 wt % LiCl/N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc). This exponent of 2.1(4) indicates that network structure by entanglements was formed in these solutions. According to the theory of Fetters et al., moreover, such identity means that all of these celluloses have the identical chain structure though their biological origins are far different. On the other hand, the phiw-dependence of eta0-etas (eta0=zero shear rate viscosity of solution; etas=solvent viscosity) was different between the TC and the DP solution in the semidilute regime: the TC solution exhibited eta0-etas proportional, variant phiw(7.5) and the DP solution eta0-etas proportional, variant phiw4. According to the theory of Doi-Edwards, this exponent of 4 (the DP solution) indicates that the DP behaves as flexible polymers in the solution. In contrast, the dependence for the TC solution seems unexplainable on the basis of molecular theories. This difference probably signifies the difference in the relaxation process or mechanism in entanglement systems.

(Summary) Differences in molecular properties of celluloses from different biological origins were investigated chiefly in terms of the rheological properties of their solutions in 8 wt % LiCl/N, N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc). Cotton linter (CC) and dissolving pulp (DP) were used as cellulose samples derived from plant, and a cellulose from Acetobacter xylinum was also used as a bacterial cellulose (BC). For the three kinds of cellulose solutions, the values of η0 - ηs (η0: zero shear rate viscosity of solution, ηs: solvent viscosity) were in proportion to the weight fraction of polymer, φw, in the dilute region. On the other hand, they were in proportion to φw4 for the CC and the DP solutions and φw3 for the BC solution in the semidilute or concentrated region. This φw-dependence of η0 - ηs shows that CC and DP, celluloses from plants, behave as a flexible polymer and that BC behaves as a rodlike polymer, according to several molecular theories. Plateau modulus, GN, was in proportion to φw2 for the CC solution, signifying that network structure by entanglement was formed in the CC solution, as is often observed for solutions of flexible synthetic polymers. On the other hand, the concentrated solution of BC showed the typical small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) profile of two-phase systems, which can be well approximated by Debye-Bueche equation. This fact indicates that the structure of the BC solution apparently differs from the network structure.

(Summary) The viscoelastic property of curdlan solution in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was investigated. We discuss the difference in the viscoelastic properties of curdlan solution in DMSO and that in 0.1 N NaOH aqueous solution. The viscoelastic function for curdlan solution in 0.1 N NaOH aqueous solution showed the Newtonian flow at the concentration of curdlan as high as 10 wt %. On the other hand, the Newtonian flow was observed in the concentrations below 7 wt % for curdlan solution in DMSO, and the plateau region appeared beyond this concentration. It was revealed by small angle x-ray diffraction measurements that the difference in the mechanical property would be originated from the difference in the network structure. The overlapping concentration c* was calculated on the basis of the mean field theory, and disagreement between theoretical prediction and experimental result was shown. We clarified that the above disagreement can be explained by the polydispersity of the curdlan sample, assuming adequate distribution functions. The static structure of the gel prepared by adding water to curdlan solution in DMSO was investigated. It was clarified by the dynamic viscoelasticity measurement that the cross-linking density increases with increasing the water content.

(Summary) Soft nanotechnology is technology that treats soft and wet materials such as self-assemblysystems in a living body under a relatively moderate condition. We focus our attention on the sizecontrol of liposomes, namely lipid bilayer membranes and performed the soft nanotechnology insizing of liposomes under high pressure. Two high-pressure sizing techniques, a method ofcontinuous pressure relaxation using a phase transition between gel and liquid crystalline phases ofthe bilayer membrane and that of a pressure-induced gel phase using a phase transition betweenbilayer and nonbilayer membranes, were applied to liposomes of distearoylphosphatidylcholine, andthe effects of the both methods were considered. Further, the application of giant liposomescontrolled by high-pressure sizing to microsensor was briefly described.

(Summary) Pressure perturbation calorimetry (PPC) is a novel calorimetric technique which allows us to obtain information about volumetric properties of solute molecules and colloidal particles in aqueous solutions. A PPC calorimeter has basically the same architecture as a high-sensitivity power-compensation differential scanning calorimeter, but it can measure the heat quantity transferred from or into a sample solution during the course of an isothermal small pressure change by attaching an external accessary for pressure control to the calorimeter. This heat quantity can be related to the expansion coefficient α, and thus, the temperature dependence of α can be obtained by performing PPC scans at a series of different temperatures. This article describes the application of PPC to the investigation of volume behavior of phospholipid bilayer membranes on the basis of our previous studies along with the general thermodynamic background of the PPC technique. We also give a concise explanation of how to analyze the PPC data, because we modified the conventional data analysis method to evaluate the absolute values of volume changes with bilayer phase transitions.

(Summary) The bilayer phase transitions of double-chain cationic surfactants, dialkyldimethylammonium bromides (2CnBr), at ambient and high pressures were investigated. The 2CnBr bilayers underwent a single or multiple phase transitions depending on the alkyl-chain length. Comparing the phase-transition properties among the 2CnBr bilayers, the temperature pressure phase diagrams and thermodynamic quantities for the phase transitions were determined. We could comprehensively interpret the complicated phase behavior of the 2CnBr bilayers, which has not been revealed by conventional experimental methods at ambient pressure.

(Summary) Bilayer-membrane properties of the most frequently used lipid in membrane studies, dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), are described. And then, barotropic bilayer phase behavior of various kinds of phospholipids with a different molecular structure from DPPC is explained in comparison with that of the DPPC bilayer. A slight difference in the molecular structure has a marked influence on the membrane state of the bilayer. Systematic pressure study using the DPPC bilayer enables us to understand the role and meaning of various phospholipids existing in biological membranes.

(Summary) The effect of pressure on the bilayer phase transitions of two kinds of asymmetric phospholipids, phosphatidylcholines (PCs) with different saturated acyl chains in the sn-1 and sn-2 positions on the glycerol backbone and mixed-chain PCs with an unsaturated acyl chain in the sn-1 or sn-2 position, is described. The alignment of the sn-1 and sn-2 acyl chains at the therminal methyl ends and the mismatch of the effective chain length between the sn-1 and sn-2 acyl chains produce a significant influence on their bilayer properties. The correlation between molecular asymmetry of PC molecules and phase stabilities of the bilayer membranes is discussed.

(Summary) Pressure studies on the bilayer phase transitions of ester-linked diacylphosphatidylcholines (diacyl-PCs) and ether-linked dialkyl-PCs are reviewed. Comparing the bilayer phase diagrams and the thermodynamic quantities of phase transitions for diacyl-PCs with those for dialkyl-PCs, the difference in lateral interaction between polar head groups of diacyl-PC and dialkyl-PC was elucidated. The mechanism of bilayer interdigitation induced by high-pressure, which is characteristic of phospholipids with a choline head group, is discussed on the basis of molecular interaction in lipid bilayer membranes.
