Abstract
Diacylglycerophosphocholines, containing various alpha-branched fatty acids, were synthesized and purified to homogeneity. The influence of the alpha-branched acyl chains on the monolayer packing properties of these phospholipids was studied by the Langmuir-Blodgett firn balance technique. NMR investigations were used for conformational studies, in cluding the determination of rotamer populations about the dihedral an gles (theta(2), theta(4) and alpha(1)) in the glycerol region of the d iacylglycerophosphocholines.
