X-ray diffractometry and calorimetry studies of structural modifications induced by gamma-irradiation in phosphatidylcholine multilamellar liposomes. 1985

Experimental results are reported on structural and thermodynamic modifications induced by gamma-irradiation in model membranes. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction were used to study the different phases and associated transitions of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine after 60Co gamma-irradiation. Changes were observed in the shape of calorimetric peaks and in the corresponding enthalpy. The repetition distance of the layers increases while the distances related to the aliphatic chains decrease as a function of gamma-irradiation time. Moreover, an increase in the hexagonal symmetry with increasing dose was detected. No disappearance of a pre-transition was detected even at high doses.

D002151 Calorimetry The measurement of the quantity of heat involved in various processes, such as chemical reactions, changes of state, and formations of solutions, or in the determination of the heat capacities of substances. The fundamental unit of measurement is the joule or the calorie (4.184 joules). (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed)
D005720 Gamma Rays Penetrating, high-energy electromagnetic radiation emitted from atomic nuclei during NUCLEAR DECAY. The range of wavelengths of emitted radiation is between 0.1 - 100 pm which overlaps the shorter, more energetic hard X-RAYS wavelengths. The distinction between gamma rays and X-rays is based on their radiation source.

D014961 X-Ray Diffraction The scattering of x-rays by matter, especially crystals, with accompanying variation in intensity due to interference effects. Analysis of the crystal structure of materials is performed by passing x-rays through them and registering the diffraction image of the rays (CRYSTALLOGRAPHY, X-RAY).
