摘要: We present x-ray diffraction results of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) multilayers in three structural phases. Using pure DPPC, precision temperature control, and high angular resolution methods, we have discovered splitting the first order due to multilayering P β phase. This permits us calculate amplitude ripples this The is large enough suggest a mechanism for rippling.
