The comparison of zymosterol vs cholesterol membrane properties -The effect of zymosterol on lipid monolayers

- Zymosterol vs cholesterol films differ in the condensation, ordering and morphology.
- BAM images for zymosterol monolayer evidenced strong optical anisotropy.
- Zymosterol can be classified as membrane active sterol.
- Zymosterol is less effective as a condensing and ordering agent than cholesterol.
