Double helix formation of phosphatidylcholine myelin figures has been studied by use of optical microscopy. The winding of the double helices was looser than a geometrically possible one and the pitch was related proportionally to the outer radii of helical myelin figures. The regularity in the winding was explained in terms of the intermembrane binding energy and the bending elastic energy.
利用光学显微镜对磷脂酰胆碱髓鞘样结构的双螺旋形成进行了研究。双螺旋的缠绕比几何上可能的情况更松散,螺距与螺旋状髓鞘样结构的外半径成比例相关。从膜间结合能和弯曲弹性能的角度解释了缠绕的规律性。
