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 |
