Structural, mesomorphic and time-resolved studies of biological liquid crystals and lipid membranes using synchrotron X-radiation

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:
Synchrotron Radiation in Chemistry and Biology III

Part of the book series: Topics in Current Chemistry ((TOPCURRCHEM,volume 151))

Abstract

The prodigeous X-ray flux and tuneability of synchrotron radiation has proved an enormous boon in studies of the physicochemical properties of biological liquid crystals. Over the past several years synchrotron radiation has been used to advantage in investigations of the dynamics and mechanism of biological liquid crystal (lipid) phase transitions in bulk systems, lyotrope transport between and within bulk mesophases, X-radiation damage of lipid, lipid-lipid and lipid-lyotrope miscibility and of heavy atom location in Langmuir-Blodgett lipid films. A review of these disparate but related investigations is presented in this chapter.
