title: Location of [60]fullerene incorporation in lipid membranes.
abstract: We confirmed that most C(60) fullerene units are located in the hydrophobic core of the lipid bilayer membrane in water-soluble lipid membrane incorporated C(60) (LMIC(60)) complexes using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and (13)C NMR spectra in the presence of radical labels.
