Phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol, sphingomyelin, and ethanolamine plasmalogen represent the six most abundant phospholipids of brain cell membrane. The ratio of the phospholipid contents (phospholipid profile) of the brain is remarkably consiste

β¦ Synopsis
3~P-NMR is often employed to determine the polymorphic phase preferences of aqueous dispersions of pure and mixed phospholipids. However, several reports have questioned the validity of the phase identifications thus achieved. In this work we review the correlation between phase determinations by 3~P-NMR and small-angle X-ray diffraction. It is demonstrated that the correlation is excellent, supporting the general utility of the 3~P-NMR method.
