By isotopical labeling lipid lateral diffusion coefficients for each of the membrane constituents, including cholesterol, have been measured by H-1, H-2, and F-19 pulsed field gradient NMR spectroscopy in macroscopically oriented lipid bilayers. This…
The pulsed field gradient NMR method for measuring self-diffusion has been used for a direct determination of the lateral diffusion coefficient of cholesterol, fluorine labeled at the 6-position, for an oriented lamellar liquid-crystalline phase of…
