  • Title: Direct observation of molecular ordering of cholesterol in human erythrocyte membranes.
    Author: Kelusky EC, Dufourc EJ, Smith IC.
    Journal: Biochim Biophys Acta; 1983 Nov 09; 735(2):302-4. PubMed ID: 6688740.
    Abstract:
    The first observation of the orientation and order of cholesterol in a natural membrane is reported. The 2H-NMR spectrum of [2,2,3,4,4,6-2H6]cholesterol incorporated into human erythrocyte ghosts demonstrates that the orientation and anisotropic motion of cholesterol is very similar in natural and model membranes.
