FIGURE 10.
Effect of peptide concentration of the gel–liquid-crystalline phase transition of dipentadecanoyl-PC bilayers. DSC thermograms are shown for lipid/peptide mixtures containing LA3-LA2 (A), LA6 (B), and L24 (C). In each panel, the top trace exemplifies the DSC thermogram obtained in the absence of peptide with the middle and bottom traces representing thermograms obtained with lipid/peptide mixtures containing 3.3 and 6.7 mol % peptide, respectively. The Y-axis scaling factors are indicated beside each DSC thermogram.
