The enthalpy of the gel-to-liquid crystalline phase transition for kerasin (15.8 kcal/mol) is found to be markedly higher than that for phrenosin and unfractionated bovine brain cerebrosides (about 7 kcal/mol). Evidence for a higher degree of order in the hydrocarbon chains and a different configuration in the polar region of kerasin is supplied by Raman spectroscopic parameters for these gel phases. The high transition enthalpy for kerasin is ascribed to a lesser accommodation of gauche conformers in the hydrocarbon chains just below the transition temperature. The thermodynamic behavior of these cerebroside fractions, including hysteresis in kerasin gels, is compared to that previously reported for sphingomyelins.
