Abstract
Aqueous solution of OPPC multilayers was studied by Raman scattering i n a wide range of temperatures. A polymorphism similar to that of olei c acid was encountered. In particular: the L-c(II) and L-c(I) forms we re identified. This polymorphism is largely due to the double bond of the oleyl chain in the sn-1 position. It was shown that the L-c(II) fo rm of OPPC has a greater packing that the rippled phase of saturared l ipid DPPC. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rig hts reserved.
