Molecular Dynamics of POPC Phospholipid Bilayers through the Gel to Fluid Phase Transition: An Incoherent Quasi-Elastic Neutron Scattering Study

The microscopic dynamics for the gel and liquid-crystalline phase of highly aligned D2O-hydrated bilayers of 1-palmitoyl-oleoyl-sn-glycero-phosphocholine (POPC) were investigated in the temperature range from 248 to 273 K by using incoherent quasi-elastic neutrons scattering (QENS). We develop a mod...
