Abstract

Nuclear magnetoresistance (NMR) studies were carried out to investigate a series of phospholipids in the L_α 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.
