✦ Synopsis

Previous X-ray diffraction data on the effects of temperature on hydrated cholesterol/dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine mixtures have been confirmed and equivalent new data on cholesterol/stearolyoleoylphosphatidylcholine obtained. Molecular interpretations are discussed and related to previous studies of cholesterol/dioleoylphospliatidylcholine and of cholesterol-rich biological membranes.
