Oxygen is known to partition with an increasing concentration gradient toward the hydrophobic membrane interior. At partial pressures (P-O2) of 100 Atm or more, this concentration gradient is sufficient to induce paramagnetic effects that depend…
A fluorinated detergent, CF(3)(CF(2))(5)C(2)H(4)-O-maltose, was reconstituted into a lipid bilayer model membrane system to demonstrate the feasibility of determining solvent accessibility and membrane immersion depth of each fluorinated group by…
