“…For instance, the fluorine-modified acyl chains can enhance the hydrophobic and lipophobic interactions that control the T m and the solubility of lipophilic probes [11]. Furthermore, these modifications alter membrane fluidity and structure [12], permeability [13], and the behavior of Biophysical Chemistry 147 (2010) [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] Abbreviations: DSC, differential scanning calorimeter; T m , main transition temperature; L ′ β , planar gel phase; P ′ β , ripple gel phase; L α , liquid crystalline phase; L β I, interdigitated gel phase, DPPC, 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine; F-DPPC, 1-palmitoyl-2-[16-fluoropalmitoyl]-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine; DAPC, 1,2-diarachidoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine; DPH, 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene; β-DPH HPC, 2-(3-(diphenylhexatrienyl) propanoyl)-1-hexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine.…”
