In order to compare the crystallization kinetics of C30d in the membrane and in bulk, we performed DSC isothermal crystallization experiments. The heat flow recorded during isothermal crystallization for C30d and C30d/DMPC samples is plotted in Figure events can be identified per temperature. For C30d in DMPC however, the heat flow curves look nearly identical for all temperatures. The initial increase in heat flow observed for this sample is not a transition event but simply the stabilization of the heat flow after cooling. This artifact could not be removed reliably, since the amount of n-alkane in the sample was very small. However, alkane crystallization clearly takes place in the C30d/DMPC mixture since melting peaks are observed when the sample is heated again, directly after the crystallization step (Figure ). For isothermal processes above 56.5 . For bulk C30d, the relative enthalpy is calculated with respect to the enthalpy after 30 minutes of crystallization. For C30d in DMPC, the relative enthalpy is calculated with respect to the integrated enthalpy after 60 minutes of crystallization. For the mixture, the liquid-to-rotator transition temperature of C30d is 1 • C below the transition in bulk, which is considered in the color-coding.
