Abstract
⺠Phase behavior of DPPC-tocopherol membranes is similar to that of DPPC-cholesterol membranes. ⺠Tocopherols induce a modulated phase in DPPC membranes below the main-transition. ⺠Tocopherols are not as efficient as cholesterol in inducing chain ordering in DPPC membranes. ⺠Tocopherols abolish the pre-transition of DPPC membranes over a narrow composition range around 10 mol%.
