We employed solid state (2)H NMR, complemented by computer simulations, to compare molecular organization in model membranes composed of 1-elaidoyl-2-stearoylphosphatidylcholine (t18:1-18:0PC), 1-oleoyl-2-stearoylphosphatidylcholine (c18:1-18:0PC), and 1,2-distearoylphosphatidylcholine (18:0-18:0PC). These phospholipids have elaidic acid (EA) containing a trans double bond, oleic acid (OA)
