Palmitic-d/sub 31/ acid was incorporated into human plasma low and high density lipoproteins by incubation of lipoprotein dispersions with the fatty acid. /sup 2/H NMR spectra were obtained and indicate that acyl chain order is higher in the surface monolayer of lipoproteins than in model phospholipid bilayer membrane. Thus the method can usefully be applied to investigate molecular motion within the monolayer of native lipoproteins.
