Pseudo-binary phospholipid mixtures

Figure 24, Simplified schematic diagram of possible types of phase diagrams observed for pseudo-binary phospholipid mixtures.

In almost all cases of pseudo-binary phospholipid mixtures, we found that the non-ideal mixing is also non-symmetric, so that this four parameter model gave the best fits to the experimental data. An illustration of how the shape of the phase diagram can change, when the asyimnetry of mixing is increased due to increased and pn values for the gel and liquid-crystalline phase, respeetively, is shown in Figure 27.
