Journal ArticleDOI
Area per Lipid and Acyl Length Distributions in Fluid Phosphatidylcholines Determined by 2H NMR Spectroscopy
TL;DR: Experimental (2)H NMR measurements for the homologous series of 1, 2-diacyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholines with perdeuterated saturated chains show that the lateral packing of phospholipids is more sensitive to the headgroup methylation than to the acyl chain length.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular areas of phospholipids as determined by 2H NMR spectroscopy. Comparison of phosphatidylethanolamines and phosphatidylcholines
TL;DR: 2H NMR spectroscopy is used to compare the properties of 1,2-diperdeuteriopalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine and DPPC in the L alpha phase and finds that DPPE has greater segmental order than DPPC, and that this increase in order is related to the smaller area per acyl chain found for DPPe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Configurational statistics of acyl chains in polyunsaturated lipid bilayers from deuterium nmr
TL;DR: In this paper, deuterium/sup 2/H NMR studies have been conducted of 1-perdeuteriopalmitoyl-2-docosahexaenoylsn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, an asymmetric or mixed-chain saturated polyunsaturated phospholipid, in the liquid crystalline (L/sub..cap alpha../) phase.
Journal ArticleDOI
Elastic deformation of membrane bilayers probed by deuterium NMR relaxation.
TL;DR: The findings imply the concept of elastic deformation is relevant on lengths approaching the bilayer thickness and less (the mesoscopic scale), and suggest that application of combined R(1Z) and S(CD) studies of phospholipids can be used as a simple membrane elastometer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Composite membrane deformation on the mesoscopic length scale.
TL;DR: The results imply the concept of elastic deformation is relevant on lengths approximately equal to the bilayer thickness and less, involving a broad spectrum of collective modes which contribute to the forces between lipid bilayers.
