The synthetic lipid diphytanoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPhPC) has been commonly used in measurements of ion-channel activities and in studies of peptide-lipid interactions. As opposed …

In turn, diphytanyl phosphocholine (ether-DPhPC) was reported to be highly stable, salt tolerant, and proton impermeable (11–14). Moreover, it is well known that ether-bound phytanyl lipids …

1,2-diphytanoyl- sn -glycero-3-phosphocholine (4ME 16:0 PC) or DPhPC has choline head groups and favors formation of membrane lipid bilayer. It displays low permeability towards ions and …

Diphytanoylphosphatidyl choline (DPhPC) is a synthetic ester lipid with methylated tails found in archaeal ether lipids.

DPhPC is a derivative of phosphatidylcholine (PC) used to synthesize bilayer vesicle phospholipids. DPhPC bilayer membranes do not leak ions in the absence of pores or ion …

Oct 1, 2017 · Only lipids with choline headgroups (DPhPC) were found to form stable lipid bilayers in oriented samples, while DPhPG, DPhPE and DPhPS display non-lamellar structures.

Sep 18, 2020 · The lipid bilayers of DPhPC reproduce the outstanding physical properties of methyl-branched lipids that occur in archaeal membranes. DPhPC is commonly used as the …

May 1, 2021 · In this study, the ester- and ether-DPhPC lipid bilayers were investigated using a series of molecular dynamics simulations. First, area per lipid and area compressibility …

Diphytanoyl lipids have branched fatty acid chains that provide membranes with unique properties including high stability, low water permeability, and no gel-to-fluid phase transition at ambient …

Feb 1, 2011 · In this paper, it was demonstrated that the phytanoyl lipids, 1,2-diphytanoyl- sn -glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPhPC) and 1,2-diphytanoyl- sn -glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine …
