Methods available for studying transversal phospholipid distribution in artificial and biological membranes fall into 5 general categories: chemical labeling; NMR spectroscopy with shift and broadening reagents; enzymatic splitting by phospholipase; protein-mediated phospholipid exchange; and immunochemical methods. The application of these techniques to studies of the topological asymmetry of phospholipids in natural and artificial membranes is discussed.
