Rapid Lateral Diffusion of Phospholipids in Rabbit Sarcoplasmic Reticulum

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Phospholipid spin labels incorporated in the sarcoplasmic reticulum from rabbit-skeletal muscle undergo rapid lateral diffusion within the plane of the membrane. The diffusion constant, D, is 6×10-8 cm2/sec at 37°. With this diffusion constant, a phospholipid molecule can diffuse a distance of the order of 5000 nm in 1 sec.
