Abstract: | To examine physical-chemical aspects of bile salt-phospholipid interactions that could contribute to preferential phosphatidylcholine (PC) secretion into bile, we have compared transitions between vesicles and micelles in model systems containing taurocholate (TC) and either egg-yolk PC (EYPC), egg-yolk sphingomyelin (EYSM), buttermilk SM (BMSM) or dipalmitoyl PC (DPPC). Phase transitions from micelles to vesicles were observed at 4-fold dilution of serially diluted EYPC/TC systems, but not earlier than at 16-fold dilution of SM/TC or DPPC/TC systems, indicating lower concentrations of the detergent required for micellization in the case of SM or DPPC. Cryo-transmission electron microscopy of phase transitions initiated by addition of TC to phospholipid vesicles revealed extremely long SM-containing intermediate structures, but shorter EYPC-containing intermediate structures. Again, larger amounts of bile salt were required to induce phase transitions in the case of EYPC compared to SM. Sizes of TC-phospholipid micelles increased progressively upon increasing phospholipid contents in the rank order: DPPC-TC
