Comprehensive characterization of temperature- and pressure-induced bilayer phase transitions for saturated phosphatidylcholines containing longer chain homologs

- Phase transitions of the bilayers of CnPCs with longer acyl chains were investigated.
- The complete phase diagrams of the bilayers of CnPCs (n = 12-22) were constructed.
- Chain-length dependence of the transition properties was discussed (n = 12-22).
- Subtransition is a chain-length dependent bilayer transition with slow kinetics.
