Distorted hexagonal phase studied by neutron diffraction : lipid components demixed in a bent monolayer

The recent discovery of a distorted hexagonal phase in 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylethanolamine/1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DOPE/DOPC) mixtures raised the intriguing question as to whether lipid mixtures demix in a bent monolayer. We performed neutron diffraction on a mi...

520 |a The recent discovery of a distorted hexagonal phase in 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylethanolamine/1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylcholine (DOPE/DOPC) mixtures raised the intriguing question as to whether lipid mixtures demix in a bent monolayer. We performed neutron diffraction on a mixture of headgroup deuterated DOPC-d(13) and nondeuterated DOPE to study the lipid distribution in the distorted hexagonal phase. The 1:1 lipid mixture in full hydration and 25 degrees C was in a homogeneous lamellar phase. Upon dehydration the mixture transformed to a rhombohedral phase, then to a distorted inverted hexagonal phase, and finally to a regular inverted hexagonal phase. In the distorted hexagonal phase, the diffraction pattern showed a two-dimensional monoclinic lattice with two reciprocal vectors of equal length (1.5 nm(-)(1)) forming an angle 53 degrees between them. Diffraction intensities measured while varying the D(2)O/H(2)O ratio in the humidity was used to solve the phase problem. The neutron scattering length density distribution of the distorted hexagonal phase was constructed. The constant density contours are approximately elliptical. The difference in the eccentricities of the contours between the water and lipid distributions indicates that the DOPE/DOPC ratio is not uniform around the elliptical lipid tube in the unit cell. DOPE is preferentially distributed at the vertex regions where the curvature is the highest. Thus for the first time it is shown that when a monolayer of a homogeneous lipid mixture is bent, the lipid components are partially demixed in reaching the free energy minimum
