Journal ArticleDOI
Phospholipid head groups as sensors of electric charge in membranes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electric charge effects on phospholipid headgroups. Phosphatidylcholine in mixtures with cationic and anionic amphiphiles
Peter G. Scherer,Joachim Seelig +1 more
TL;DR: The influence of electric surface charges on the polar headgroups and the hydrocarbon region of phospholipid membranes was studied and suggest that the electric surface charge is the essential driving force in changing the phosphate segment orientation and conformation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and dynamics of the phosphatidylcholine and the phosphatidylethanolamine head group in L-M fibroblasts as studied by deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance
Peter G. Scherer,Joachim Seelig +1 more
TL;DR: Mouse fibroblast L‐M cells were grown in tissue culture medium containing selectively deuterated choline or ethanolamine leading to a selective deuteration of these phospholipid head groups, and the phosphocholine head group conformation appeared to sense an electrically neutral environment in spite of the fact that L‐ M cell membranes contain 10‐20% negatively charged lipids.
