Spin-labeled analogs of phospholipids have been used widely to characterize the biophysical properties of membranes. We describe synthesis and application of a new spin-labeled phospholipid analog, SL-POPC. The advantage of this molecule is that the EPR active doxyl group is linked to an unsaturated fatty acyl chain different to saturated phospholipid analogs used so far. The need for those analogs arises from the fact that biological membranes contain unsaturated phospholipids to a large extent ...[more]
