FIGURE 6

Coexistence of an interdigitated and a noninterdigitated phase in DSPG. SAXS data (T = 45°C) show diffuse scattering at q ∼ 0.2 Å compared to DPPG (Fig. 2). The experimental data can be fitted with a linear combination of scattering intensities originating from interdigitated (dashed line) and noninterdigitated bilayers (dashed-dotted line). The solid line gives the sum of the two contributions. Panel B shows the corresponding electron density profiles, where the dashed line gives the profile of the interdigitated phase, clearly distinguishable by the broad methylene trough.
