Anionic glucophospholipids were recently reported as a new family of tubule-forming lipids. We report here investigations on the structure of nanotubules made from a glucophospholipid with a mixed fluorocarbon-hydrocarbon hydrophobe, using freeze fracture and cryo-transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray and neutron small angle scattering (SAXS, SANS). The hollow and regularly shaped tubules are very thin: they have an external radius of 140 Angstrom and an internal radius of 35 Angstrom on the average, Their 105 Angstrom-thick wall appears to consist in three bilayers in which the glucophospholipid molecules are probably in a tilted and/or interdigitated configuration. Upon heating these nanotubes convert reversibly into vesicles; transformation is complete at 60 degrees C.
