Molecular Oxygen as a Probe Molecule in EPR Spin Labeling Studies of Membrane Structure and Dynamics
Oxygen, 2022 Molecular oxygen (O2) is the perfect probe molecule for membrane studies carried out using the saturation recovery EPR technique. O2 is a small, paramagnetic, hydrophobic enough molecule that easily partitions into a membrane’s different phases and ...

Structural Impact of Selected Retinoids on Model Photoreceptor Membranes
Membranes, 2023 Photoreceptor membranes have a unique lipid composition. They contain a high level of polyunsaturated fatty acids including the most unsaturated fatty acid in nature, docosahexaenoic acid (22:6), and are enriched in phosphatidylethanolamines.
