The interaction of eight n-alkanols with bilayers of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) has been studied by deuterium nuclear magnetic resonance (2H-NMR). At comparable temperatures and concentrations of solute in the bilayer, order parameters…
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…
