Abstract
⺠Biologically relevant sphingomyelin (SM) species are often asymmetric molecules. ⺠It is unclear how asymmetry affects interactions with cholesterol. ⺠We made SM analogs with saturated acyl chains which are 14 to 24 carbons long. ⺠We show that SM asymmetry affected sterol interaction. ⺠The most favorable interaction was seen between cholesterol and 16:0-SM.
