Hydration water dynamics between DMPE (1,2－dimyristoyl－sn－glycero－3－phosphoethanolamine) bilayers

抄録

Biomembrane mainly consists of phospholipid bilayers which are surrounded by water. Water in phospholipids behaves differently than bulk water named hydration water (HW). Quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) revealed that HW in 1-2 dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DMPE) phospholipids show different dynamics by comparing with that in 1-2 dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DMPC) phospholipids. This finding suggests that HW can be correlated with the phospholipid in the biomembrane.
