Phase behavior of two-component lipid membranes: theory and experiments
Md. Arif Kamal, Antara Pal, V. A. Raghunathan +1
The structure of the ripple phase of phospholipid membranes remains poorly understood in spite of a large number of theoretical studies, with many experimentally established struct…
A defect mediated lamellar to isotropic transition of amphiphile bilayers
Antara Pal, Georg Pabst, V. A. Raghunathan
We report the observation of a novel isotropic phase of amphiphile bilayers in a mixed system consisting of the ionic surfactant, sodium docecylsulphate (SDS), and the organic salt…
Theory of the asymmetric ripple phase in achiral lipid membranes
Md. Arif Kamal, Antara Pal, V. A. Raghunathan +1
We present a phenomenological theory of phase transitions in achiral lipid membranes in terms of two coupled order parameters -- a scalar order parameter describing lipid chain mel…
Novel structural features of the ripple phase of phospholipids
Kheya Sengupta, V. A. Raghunathan, John Katsaras
We have calculated the electron density maps of the ripple phase of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and palmitoyl-oleoyl phosphatidylcholine (POPC) multibilayers at different…
The structure of the ripple phase in chiral and racemic DMPC multibilayers
Kheya Sengupta, V. A. Raghunathan, John Katsaras
We present electron density maps of the ripple phase of chiral and racemic dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine. The structures of the two systems are found to be identical within experi…
