Abstract:
2H and 13C spin-lattice (T1) relaxation time studies of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) in the lamellar, liquid crystalline (Lα) phase are discussed. It is shown that the T1-1 results as a function of Larmor frequency ω0 are statistically better described by an ω0-1/2 dependence than by an ω 0-1 or ω0-2 dependence. © 1985 American Institute of Physics.

Abstract:
Nuclear magnetoresistance (NMR) studies were carried out to investigate a series of phospholipids in the Lα state. The influences of the acyl length, lipid polar head groups, addition of a cosurfactant, and incorporation of cholesterol were determined in terms of the bilayer viscoelastic properties. The results imply that the concept of elastic deformation of membranes is applicable on the mesoscopic length scale, approaching the molecular dimensions, with quasicoherent nodes on the order of the bilayer hydrocarbon thickness and less.
