Effect of alkyl glycosides on phospholipid acyl chain ordering. a Deuterium order parameters at the sixth methylene group of DMPC, averaged over both sn-1 and sn-2 chains, as a function of the respective glycoside molar fraction for compounds 1, 6, and 7. b Control deuterium order parameters at the seventh methylene group of DMPC in the presence of octyl β-d-glucopyranoside (OG) or dodecyl β-d-glucopyranoside (DG). Experimental data shown have been determined for multilamellar bilayer dispersions containing DPPC and OG at 45 °C30. *For xOG = 0.75, the bilayer structure distorts significantly by the end of the simulation
