The effect of 1-palmitoyl lysophosphatidylcholine (PLPC) on the phase behaviour of 1,2-dipalmitoyl phosphatidylethanolamine (DPPE) in excess water (34 wt%) has been examined by differential scanning calorimetry, scanning dilatometry and isothermal…
The structure-function relationships of the 43-amino-acid membrane-binding domain of cytochrome b(5) have been examined in two mutant forms of the protein. In one mutant, two tryptophans in the membrane-binding domain, at positions 108 and 112, were…
The interaction of chloroform with bilayers of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) has been studied by deuterium and phosphorus-31 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Orientational order has been measured as a function of temperature at many sites in…
