Abstract
The tilt angle of the hydrocarbon chains to the planes of a dipalmitoryl lecithin single bilayer and multilayers were estimated by the asymmetry of the electron diffraction patterns of respective hydrated specimens. The chains in a single bilayer were found to be perpendicular to the bilayer plane, whereas the chains in the multilayers were found to be tilted with respect to the normal of the plane. Thermal analysis data also supported this conclusion.Entities:
