2021, Biochimica et Biophysica Acta - BiomembranesCitation Excerpt :There is a wide variety of techniques to build “phase” diagrams. X-rays, neutron scattering, [26,27], electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) [28], crystallography [29], Circular Dichroism [17,30,31] and NMR [15,18,32–35] have been mainly used to delineate the boundaries. Interestingly molecular dynamics including coarse grain approaches have been also used [36].
