Existence of phospholipid bilayer structure in the inner membrane of mitochondria.
The presence of ordered phospholipid lamellar structure in inner membranes of mitochondria was detected with the use of a spin-labeled 2,4-dinitrophenol. A phospholipid bilayer may be an important structural and functional component of the inner mitochondrial membrane.
