pubmed:abstractText
Quasielastic incoherent neutron scattering has been used to investigate the rate of local translational diffusion of lipid molecules in phospholipid bilayers of dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine. The measured translational diffusion constants (4 x 10(-10) m2 s-1 at 63 degrees C and 1.4 x 10(-11) m2 s-1 at 30 degrees C) are considerably faster than those deduced using other less direct methods, but are in agreement with those measured in soap-water lyotropic liquid crystals, and with calculated values. This disagreement is attributed to differences in the time and distance scales characterising the various measurements. Quasielastic neutron scattering experiments observe fast motions over molecular distances, whereas other methods tend to measure a rate of diffusion which is averaged over macroscopic distances, and may thus contain contributions from long distance slow diffusive motions such as diffusion between the bilayers.
