Figure 1
Location of water between myelin layers. Water molecules occupy a predominantly cylindrical annulus between phospholipid bilayers, although some bilayer penetration occurs. Near the headgroups, water experiences reduced mobility and possibly an electrostatic orienting effect. Myelin structure is highly simplified to show only phospholipids, while proteins and other lipids are omitted.
