Abstract
The effect ofα-tocopherol (αT) on partitioning and fluidity changes occurring in phospholipid liposomes have been investigated by monitoring the X-band ESR spectrum of the high resolution amphiphilic spin probe perdeutero-di-t-butyl nitroxide (PDDTBN), which partitions in the lipid and water phase of liposomes, showing all the three resonances from each phase well resolved.
