Figure 7.
A comparison of T156R1 EPR spectra at 23°C that are reconstituted into lipid bilayers of increasing hydrocarbon thickness. The hydrocarbon thicknesses, determined previously (40, 41), are approximately 19.5, 25.0, 27.1 and 43.4 for DLPC, DMPC, POPC and DiErPC, respectively. The EPR lineshapes are shown in the solid traces and the MOMD fits are shown as the dashed lines below each spectrum. The DLPC spectrum could be fit with a single component, and the population of a second slow component increases with bilayer thickness (see Table 3 for the MOMD parameters). These spectra were reported elsewhere, but did not include the MOMD simulations (17).
