Cholesterol induces specific spatial and orientational order in cholesterol/phospholipid membranes.
<h4>Background</h4>In lipid bilayers, cholesterol facilitates the formation of the liquid-ordered phase and enables the formation of laterally ordered structures such as lipid rafts. While these domains have an important role in a variety of cellular processes, the precise atomic-level m...
