The effects of mixed phospholipid headgroup composition and the addition of small amounts of alkane were examined with respect to the lamellar (L α) to inverse hexagonal (HII) phase transition in phospholipid-water liquid crystals. X-ray diffraction was used to probe the lattices and determine the phases. It has been postulated that competition between hydration repulsion, lipid monolayer curvature elasticity, and hydrocarbon packing determine the Lα-HIItransition, [Kirk, Gruner and Stein, Biochem. 23(1984) 1093]. Here, experiments which explored the effects of curvature and packing are described. It is shown that the radius of curvature of the lipid tubes of the HII phase could be adjusted by mixing high and low curvature lipids. However, ...
