New Insights into Biomembrane Structure from Two-Dimensional Nuclear Overhauser Enhancement Spectroscopy

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Biological Physics Series ((BIOMEDICAL))

Abstract

According to the model of Singer and Nicolson, the biological membrane is a fluid mosaic of proteins and lipids [1]. The lipid molecules organize in liquid-crystalline bilayers with almost liquid-like conformational degrees of freedom covering the time-scale from pico- to microseconds and undergo lateral reorganization on the time-scale from microseconds to hours (Fig. 1).
