Abstract
A new method for spin labeling the lipid bilayer component in erythrocyte membranes at low hematocrit with extremely low concentration of 4-(N,N-dimethyl-1-n-hexadecyl)ammonium-2,2,6,6-teiramethylpiperidine-1-oxy) iodide, (CAT-16) is described. Characterization of the motional determinants of CAT-16 in erythrocyte membranes at 20°C is presented from which it is deduced that protein-lipid interactions in the lipid bilayer are primary.
