The widely-supported proposal that the addition of cholesterol to phospholipid in hydrated systems generates a physical state intermediate between liquid crystalline and gel and thereby eliminates the characteristic phospholipid liquid crystalline--gel phase transition is re-examined in relation to

The R3C NM R spectrum of [4-13C] cholesterol solubilized in aqueous solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate indicates that the molecule has considerably more rotational freedom than when it is intercalated into phosphatidylcholine (PC) vesicles. The interaction between detergent-solubilized cholesterol
The hydration characteristics of phosphatidylcholines and the effect of cholesterol on these were studied with differential thermal analysis and water vapour adsorption experiments. Also the water adsorption of egg phosphatidylethanolamine and the effect of cholesterol on this was studied and compar
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
