Abstract
⺠We utilize three approaches to study phospholipids-sterol interaction. ⺠Sterol insertion alters the packing arrangement of PC tails and headgroup. ⺠Insertion of various sterols behaves differently in DPPC and EggPC liposomes. ⺠Different effects of sterols attribute to their different ring and tail structures. ⺠7-Dehydrocholesterol produces lipid domain formation in EggPC liposomes.
