A novel type of membrane based on cholesteryl phosphocholine, cholesteryl phosphate, or sitosteryl phosphate, and dimyristoylglycerol.
    Chemistry & biodiversity, 2006, Volume: 3, Issue:2

    Mixtures of amphiphilic cholesteryl phosphate (CP), sitosteryl phosphate (SP), or cholesteryl phosphocholine (CPC) with the nonphosphoryl diacyl lipid dimyristoylglycerol (DMG) or with cholesterol give self-organized systems (giant vesicles) in a wide range of pH, as demonstrated by fluorescence microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and small-angle X-ray scattering. The water permeability of a 1 : 1 molar mixture of CPC and DMG was also measured by a stopped-flow/light-scattering method. The novel self-organized systems are akin to natural eukaryotic ones, the only difference being the site of the phosphate-containing head-group, located on cholesterol instead of DMG. They might be present in some organisms not yet studied for the composition of their membranes.
