Cholesterol-enriched bilayers. A,B) Schematic of the effect of cholesterol on lipid membrane order. C) Snapshots from all-atom simulations of pure-POPC and pure-DOPC bilayers at rest; lipid molecules are visualized as rods. The water buffer is omitted for clarity. D) Simulation snapshots of POPC/CHOL and DOPC/CHOL bilayers. Phospholipid and cholesterol molecules are represented as rods and smaller rods, respectively.
