Figure Lengend Snippet: Simultaneous fit of analytical models for experimental 2H NMR spin-lattice relaxation rates determined for ras-d66 chains in oriented DMPC bilayers as a function of angle between the lamellar normal and external magnetic field of 17.6 T. Experimental relaxation rates at 40°C are given as data points, and best fits to the molecular and composite membrane deformation models correspond to red and black lines, respectively. Panels refer to the residual quadrupolar couplings, i.e., representing different carbon positions, of the ras-d66 chains (compare to Fig. 3).
Article Snippet: The composite membrane deformation model has been successfully applied to phospholipid chains, and has provided comprehensive information about the details of the molecular dynamics ( 24 – 27 ).
