Abstract

The influence of the myelin proteolipid apoprotein on lipid chain order and dynamics was studied by 2H NMR of membranes reconstituted with specifically deuterated dimyristoyl phosphatidylcholines. Quadrupolar echo and saturation recovery experiments were fitted by numerical solution of the stochasti...
