Various phosphatidylcholines differing either in the stereochemistry around their chiral center or in the position of a cis double bond along the acyl chains were synthesized in order to study critical contact regions in the phospholipid molecule with adjacent cholesterol in model membranes.

The photoinduced interaction of thionine dye with phosphatidylcholine (PC) (and its components, e.g. lysoPC, phosphorylcholine and choline) and oxidized cholesterol was studied in artificial membranes using spectrophotometric and photoelectrochemical methods. The results show that the dye (electron
The sn-I and sn-3 isomers of dioleoylglycerophosphocholine form vesicles of the same size as the racemic lipid. Identical permeability coefficients were found for the diffusion of glucose and chloride across bilayer membranes of vesicles consisting of these lipids. Vesicles made of mixtures of enant
