متن کاملSolubility Limits of Cholesterol, Lanosterol, Ergosterol, Stigmasterol, and β-Sitosterol in Electroformed Lipid Vesicles.
Here we use nuclear magnetic resonance to measure the solubility limit of several biologically relevant sterols in electroformed giant unilamellar vesicle membranes containing phosphatidylcholine (PC) lipids in ratios of 1:1:X DOPC:DPPC:sterol. We find solubility limits of cholesterol, lanosterol, ergosterol, stigmasterol, and β-sitosterol to be 65-70%, ~35%, 30-35%, 20-25%, and ~40%, respectiv...
