A fluorinated detergent, CF3 (CF2) 5C2H4-O-maltose, was reconstituted into a lipid bilayer
model membrane system to demonstrate the feasibility of determining solvent accessibility …

Oxygen is known to partition with an increasing concentration gradient toward the
hydrophobic membrane interior. At partial pressures (P O2) of 100Atm or more, this …

Due to its depth-dependent solubility, oxygen exerts paramagnetic effects which become
progressively greater toward the hydrophobic interior of micelles, and lipid bilayer …

Oxygen and Ni (II) are ideal paramagnetic species for NMR studies of immersion depth
since they establish prominent concentration gradients across the membrane− water …

An important component of the study of membrane proteins involves the determination of
details associated with protein topology—for example, the location of transmembrane …

The binding of amphiphilic molecules to lipid bilayers is followed by 19F NMR using
chemical shift and line shape differences between the solution and membrane-tethered …

The 19F NMR spin-lattice relaxation in H20 and D20 solutions was investigated for the
various fluorines in the following perfluorinated or partially fluorinated amphiphiles …

Paramagnetic relaxation enhancement (PRE) is a widely used approach for measuring long-
range distance constraints in biomolecular solution NMR spectroscopy. In this paper, we …

At first sight the application of 19F NMR to biological samples may seem like a paradox, as
fluorine scarcely occurs in organic matter. However, this very lack of natural abundance in …

There is considerable interest in the use of perfluorocarbons as oxygen carriers in clinical
settings; however, little is known regarding the molecular interactions made by these apolar …
