Optimum interaction of sterol side chains with phosphatidylcholine. 1978

I F Craig, and G S Boyd, and K E Suckling

The specificity of the interaction between the cholesterol side chain and egg phosphatidylcholine was precisely defined by examining the effect of three new analogues of cholesterol with modified side chains on the ordering of two steroid spin labels in liposomes. The complete side chain of cholesterol was shown to be required for maximum ordering. Sterols with side chains shorter or longer than cholesterol caused significantly less ordering.

D002621 Chemistry A basic science concerned with the composition, structure, and properties of matter; and the reactions that occur between substances and the associated energy exchange.
D002784 Cholesterol The principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils. Epicholesterol
D004578 Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy A technique applicable to the wide variety of substances which exhibit paramagnetism because of the magnetic moments of unpaired electrons. The spectra are useful for detection and identification, for determination of electron structure, for study of interactions between molecules, and for measurement of nuclear spins and moments. (From McGraw-Hill Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, 7th edition) Electron nuclear double resonance (ENDOR) spectroscopy is a variant of the technique which can give enhanced resolution. Electron spin resonance analysis can now be used in vivo, including imaging applications such as MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING.
