Effect of cholesterol on the lamellar spacing and thickness of mitochondria-like membranes. (A) Reflectivity curves for mitochondria-like membranes with 0, 10, 20 and 30 mol% cholesterol. The curves are shifted vertically for clarity. Intensity is plotted on a logarithmic scale. (B) Scaled electron density profiles of mitochondria-like membranes with the same cholesterol content as in (A). (C) Lamellar spacing, $d_z$, and peak-to-peak membrane thickness, $d_{hh}$, as a function of cholesterol content.
