| Abstract | Aqueous dispersions of egg-phosphatidylcholine and egg-phosphatidylcholine/30 mol% cholesterol containing deuterated tripalmitin or triolein were studied at approx. 25°C by ²H-NMR. Incorporation of tripalmitin into egg-phosphatidylcholine bilayers was found to be less than 0.1 mol%, while the incorporation of trolein is approx. 2.5 mol% in the absence and approx. 0.7 mol% in the presence of cholesterol. The profile of order parameter versus chain position for deuterated triolein suggests that the oleoyl chains of the triacylglycerol have an average orientation such that the C2 chain segments and the segments in the vicinity of the C9–C10 double bond are tilted with respect to the bilayer normal, while all other segments are parallel to the bilayer normal. Longitudinal relaxation times were also determined and indicate that the acyl chains of triolein have a motional behaviour similar to that of phospholipid acyl chains in the bilayer. |
