Cover Story: Phospholipids in water are the primary elements of cell membranes and, through their chemical and physical structures, enable cells to interact with other biological molecules (i.e., proteins and vitamins) and perform their biological functions. Due to their amphiphilic structure, phospholipids form biomimetic membranes, which are useful for studying cellular interactions and drug delivery. In this study, the biomimetic system DPhPC in deuterium solutions is investigated using µ-Raman spectroscopy across a broad temperature range—from −181.15 °C to 22.15 °C. Raman data reveal phase transitions as a function of temperature. These findings enhance our understanding of the role of artificial biomimetic lipids within complex phospholipid membranes and offer valuable insights for optimizing their use in biosensing applications.
