Membrane fluidity of egg yolk phosphatidylcholine/detergent mixed aggregates studied by spin label method
Anisotropic electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra of 5-doxylstearic acid and small membrane fluidity of hydrocarbon chains of egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (EggPC)/sodium taurocholate mixed micelles suggested considerably ordered arrangement of the hydrocarbon chains, while isotropic ESR spectra and relatively large fluidity of EggPC/octylglucoside mixed micelles indicated rather disordered arrangement of hydrocarbon chains of EggPC.
