Abstract
Raman spectra are reported for the C-D stretching region of stearic acid-d35 bound in egg lecithin multilayers. The temperature dependence of the spectra shows that the linewidth of the C-D stretching bands is a sensitive and non-perturbative probe of membrane hydrocarbon chain conformation. The utility of this approach for studying lipid conformation in membranes containing a significant fraction of non-lipid component is discussed.Entities:
