โฆ Synopsis
The a-methylene segment of benzyi alcohol has been deuterated at one site and the proton-deuterium dipole spin interaction measured for this compound dissolved in bilayers of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine. These data, when combined with measured deuterium quadrupole interactions at other sites, allow for a more complete understanding of the orientational ordering and conformation of benzyl alcohol in the bilayers. Models for the rotary motion of the ring are discussed.
