A model is proposed for hydrocarbon chain dynamics in lipid bilayers. In the upper and middle parts of the chain all motion occurs by concerted rotations around at least two carboncarbon bonds at a time, preserving a structure with kinks (that is gauche + trans gauche ~ conformations) as the only de

The role of repulsive forces in the nonlinear dynamics of lipid bilayers is described, using a hydrodynamic approach. The lipid bilayer is considered as a fluid film with tangentially immobile surfaces and a general order parameter profile is assessed, depending on the degree of orientation of the h
The 2H-NMR spectra of selectively deuterated cholesterol, intercalated in egg phosphatidylcholine, were examined. The orientation of the axis of motional averaging was calculated using the observed quadrupole splittings and the atomic coordinates. With the known orientation of the rotation axis, qua
