Abstract
-glycero-3-phospho-l-serine (DMPS), we observe surprisingly distinct behavior for the different systems that depend on the chemical composition of the hydrated headgroups. These differences involve changes in hydration following temperature-induced counterion redistribution, or changes in hydration following headgroup reorientation and Stern layer compression.
