DPPC Membrane Under Lateral Compression and Stretching to Extreme Limits: Phase Transitions and Rupture

DPPC Membrane Under Lateral Compression and Stretching to Extreme Limits: Phase Transitions and Rupture

Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), is one of the key bilayer membranes of the phosphatidylcholine (PC) family which constitutes 40–50% of total cellular phospholipids in mammal cells. We investigate the behavior of an initially planar DPPC membrane under lateral pressures from −200 to 150 bar at...
