COD, cholesterol oxidase; PFO, perfringolysin O; ALO, anthrolysin O.

a

Lipids are listed by the number of carbons and degree of unsaturation of their tails (e.g., DMPC is di-14:0-PC).

b

Characteristic χC refers to the one or several mole fraction(s) of cholesterol at or above which the accessibility of cholesterol increases sharply. Only characteristic χC ≥ 0.20 are listed.

c

The researchers did not report on bilayers with χC > 0.345.

d

This value was interpreted from a graph as the half-maximum of cytolysin binding.

e

This version of the protein is monomeric and does not cause pores to form in the membrane.
