  • Title: 13C NMR studies on [4-13C] cholesterol incorporated in sonicated phosphatidylcholine vesicles.
    Author: de Kruijff B.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1978 Jan 19; 506(2):173-82. PubMed ID: 620026.
    Abstract:
    1. 90.5 MHz 13C NMR linewidth measurements were performed on mixed sonicated [4-13C] cholesterol/phosphatidylcholine vesicles of different fatty acid composition. 2. From the Dy3+ -induced shift of the C4 resonance of cholesterol it suggested that this part of the molecule is localized in the ester bond region of the bilayer. 3. The local motion of the cholesterol ring system is restricted and independent of fatty acid composition. 4. At cholesterol concentrations below 30 mol percent the ring system becomes more immobilised when the fatty acids of the phosphatidylcholine molecules enter the gel state.
