  1. ; ; ; (, Current topics in membranes)
    Levitan, Irena (Ed.)
    This review focuses on time-resolved neutron scattering, particularly time-resolved small angle neutron scattering (TR-SANS), as a powerful in situ noninvasive technique to investigate intra- and intermembrane transport and distribution of lipids and sterols in lipid membranes. In contrast to using molecular analogues with potentially large chemical tags that can significantly alter transport properties, small angle neutron scattering relies on the relative amounts of the two most abundant isotope forms of hydrogen: protium and deuterium to detect complex membrane architectures and transport processes unambiguously. This review discusses advances in our understand- ing of the mechanisms that sustain lipid asymmetry in membranes—a key feature of the plasma membrane of cells—as well as the transport of lipids between membranes, which is an essential metabolic process.
