  6. The notation used to name the products is as follows: the lipid portion is identical in all products and is the 10,12- pentacosadiynoic fragment abbrievated PDA. The head group is described in the superscript. An alanine head group with an amide moiety at the carboxy terminus of the amino acid is written as Ala-NH2 in superscript.

  10. The wettability of a surface measures qualitatively the polarity of groups at the surface. For example, clean glass is wetted by water with a water contact angle of 5 +/-2° while teflon repels water and has a contact angle of 105 +/-3°. For more detailed discussion, see ref. 3 or 5.
