Abstract
The thermostability of liposomes comprising from a 1:1 mixture of archaeal 72-membered macrocyclic tetraether diphospholipids was investigated for the first time in comparison with those of acyclic and 36-membered macrocyclic diether phospholipids. The liposomes of the former 72-membered macrocyclic lipid certainly form thermostable liposomes.
