TL;DR: In this article, it is suggested that the lateral expansion of the phospholipid bilayer of biological membranes caused by the intercalation of long-chain amphiphile molecules between the polyprotein molecules and the mismatch between their hydrocarbon chain lengths results in the creation of free volume in the bilayer hydrophobic region.

TL;DR: It is shown that a joint evaluation of SANS and small-angle X-ray scattering on unilamellar liposomes can be used to obtain the value of d(H) and the distance of the lipid phosphate group from the bilayer hydrocarbon region d( H1).

TL;DR: Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) experiments were performed on unilamellar 1,2-dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine vesicles prepared in heavy water by extrusion through polycarbonate filters with 500 Å pores and it is shown that the results obtained are not sensitive to the vesicle form factor, nor to the evaluation method.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the cut‐off in the DMAO antimicrobial activity is caused by the cut-off inThe D MAO perturbing effect on the membrane structure.

TL;DR: High-resolution x-ray scattering data were analyzed in conjunction with contrast-varied neutron scattering data to show that the manner by which bilayer thickness increases with increasing n in monounsaturated diacylphosphatidylcholines is dependent on the double bond's position.
