Figure 1

Temperature induced increase of νCH 2 s of dry liposomes made from EPC in the absence or presence of the additives Arb, Glc, Trp or Gly. Liposomes were formed either in water or, to have the additives present on both sides of the membranes, in 50 mM solutions of the respective additives. Phase transition temperatures (Tm) from gel to liquid-crystalline state were determined as the midpoint of the melting curves. Tm values for all samples are shown in Table 1.
