Maximum 2H-NMR quadrupolar splittings observed for deuterated indole rings in bilayers of DMPC, either “free” to diffuse within the lipid or attached to a membrane-spanning peptide. From left to right: “free” indole (from Persson et al., 1998), four tryptophans in WALP19, and Trp13 of gramicidin A (from van der Wel et al., 2007).
