16. Some mixtures of C and P have been shown to act as pseudobinary mixtures, that is, mixtures of C and an "average" P. See: Hagen, J. P.; McConnell, H. M. Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1996, 1280, 169-172.
17. Hagen, J. P.; McConnell, H. M. Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1997, 1329, 7-11. The pressure dependence of the critical temperature in these mixtures can also be described in terms of a weak 1:1 complex with a pressure-dependent equilibrium constant.

28. The spin-label TEMPO shows remarkable variations of solubility as a function of composition in bilayer membranes composed of DMPC and cardiolipin. See: Berclaz, T.; McConnell, H. M. Biochemistry 1981, 20, 0, 6635-6640.
29. Other physical properties, such as domain size in the case of monolayers studied here, also change abruptly as composition is changed in the region of the miscibility cusp. Domain size changes are doubtless related to changes in interdomain line tension and dipole density. See refs 6, 7, and 13.
