Intermolecular Hydrogen-Bond Interactions in DPPE and DMPC Phospholipid Membranes Revealed by Far-Infrared Spectroscopy

The vibrational signature in the far-infrared region of two different phospholipids, phosphatidylcholine (PC) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), was investigated as a function of relative humidity from 0 to 75% in order to evaluate the effect of headgroup composition on the formation of intermolecul...
