Discoidal bilayered structures

H5. Hamilton, R. L., Williams, M. C., Fielding, C. J., and Havel, R. J., Discoidal bilayer structure of nascent high density lipoproteins from perfused rat liver J Clin. Invest. 58, 667-680 (1976). 

Certain amphiphatic molecules arrange themselves in discoidal bilayered structures known as bicelles. The bicelles have highly anisotropy magnetic susceptibility and thus the property to align themselves in the magnetic field with the plane normal perpendicular to the field [434]. This results in a uniaxial medium suitable for...
