Shown are fractions, f, of motionally restricted spin-labeled lipid in DMPC membranes containing gramicidin A at 1:10 molar ratio. Kr/KrPC is the relative association constant, normalized to 14-PCSL.

*

Samples are prepared from TFE or from CHCl3:MeOH (2:1 v/v) and are buffered at pH 7.8, except for 14-SASL. Typical uncertainty in f from fitting the two-component spectra is ±0.01–0.02.
