Calorimetric Determination of the Number of Differently Bound Water Molecules in Phospholipid Bilayer Systems

摘要

The present study has reviewed (i)how to classify the water molecules in multilamellar dispersions of lipid-water system on the basis of the ice-melting behavior as revealed by heating differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and (ii)how to estimate the numbers of nonfreezable interlamellar and freezable interlamellar and bulk water molecules in this system from enthalpies of the ice-melting endotherms.
