TABLE 1.

List of the differences in the sterol structure and the M1 of POPC-d31/sterol membranes compared to cholesterol

Structural difference compared with cholesterol Decrease in M1 compared with cholesterol (66,000 s−1)
7-DHC one extra double bond in the B ring between C7 and C8 6%
Ergosterol one extra double bond in the B ring between C7 and C8 12%
one extra double bond between C22 and C23, and one extra CH3 at C24 of the side chain
