Asymmetric distribution of cholesterol in unilamellar vesicles of monounsaturated phospholipids

We have studied the effect of cholesterol on curved bilayers using 600 A unilamellar vesicles made of monounsaturated lipids. From small-angle X-ray scattering experiments we were able to detect an asymmetric distribution of lipid densities across certain bilayers. We discovered that, with the excep...
