Abstract
⺠POPC and POPC-Cholesterol (1:1 molar ratio) bilayers were MD simulated for 200 ns each. ⺠Distributions of vertical positions of POPC and cholesterol atoms were calculated. ⺠Cholesterol significantly narrows the distribution of vertical positions of each of the lipid atoms. ⺠The surface of the POPC bilayer saturated with cholesterol is smoother than of the POPC bilayer without cholesterol.
