Synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) patterns of bulk-phase mixtures of monoolein (MO) with incorporated 15 mol.% docosapentaenoyl (DPA, 22:5n6)-modified plasmalogen-phosphoethanolamine C16:1p-22:5n6 PE (red plot), plasmalogen phosphocholine C16:1p-22:5n6 PC (blue plot), or DPA-diacyl phosphoinositol 22:5n6-22:5n6 PI ester lipid (green plot). The red, blue, and green plots correspond to 15/85 (mol/mol) ratio between the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) phospholipids and monoolein (MO). The orange plot presents the SAXS pattern for the pure MO/buffer system. The lipid/water ratio is 40/60 (wt/wt). Aqueous phase: 1.10− 2 M phosphate buffer containing 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT). Temperature is 22°C.
