Acyl chain unsaturation modulates distribution of lecithin molecular species between mixed micelles and vesicles in model bile. Implications for particle structure and metastable cholesterol solubilities.
We determined the distribution of lecithin molecular species between vesicles and mixed micelles in cholesterol super-saturated model biles (molar taurocholate-lecithin-cholesterol ratio 67:23:10, 3 g/dl, 0.15 M NaCl, pH approximately 6-7) that contained equimolar synthetic lecithin mixtures or egg...
