Determining the bioactive structure of membrane lipids is a new concept, which aims to
examine the functions of lipids with respect to their three‐dimensional structures. As lipids …

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) of dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine (DPPC),
dihexanoyl phosphatidylcholine, and dipalmitoyl phosphatidylglycerol bicelles reveals two …

Sphingomyelin (SM) is a common sphingolipid in mammalian membranes and is known to
be substantially involved in cellular events such as the formation of lipid rafts. Despite its …

Small bilayer lipid aggregates such as bicelles provide useful isotropic or anisotropic
membrane mimetics for structural studies of biological membranes. We have shown …

Mixed phospholipid micelles (bicelles) are widely applied in nuclear magnetic resonance
(NMR) studies of membrane proteins in solution, as they can solubilize these proteins and …

A microscopic understanding of the internal structure and dynamics of poly (N-
isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM) chains, in microgel colloids, is developed using deuterium …

In bicellar dispersions of 1, 2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) and 1, 2-
dihexanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DHPC), the transition from isotropic reorientation …

Dispersions of lipid mixtures comprising long-and short-chain phospholipids (bicellar
mixtures) can form small isotropically reorienting particles (bilayered micelles), magnetically …

Bicellar dispersions of chain perdeuterated 1, 2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine
(DMPC-d 54), 1, 2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1′-rac-glycerol)(DMPG), and 1, 2 …

Mixtures of the short-chain 1, 2-dihexanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DHPC) and the
long-chain 1, 2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) have emerged as a …
