Abstract:
1. The ESR spectra of both phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine spin labels reveal an immobilized lipid component (τR ? 50 ns), in addition to a fluid component (τR ～ 1 ns), in acetylcholine receptorrich membranes prepared from Torpedo marmorata electroplax according to the method of Cohen et al. (Cohen, J.B., Weber, M., Huchet, M. and Changeux, J.P. (1972) FEBS Lett. 26, 43–47). 2. The ESR spectra of the androstanol spin label display a component corresponding to molecules which are immobilized with respect to rotation about the long molecular axis (
