Energetics of cholesterol-modulated membrane permeabilities. A simulation study
Molecular dynamics simulations were used to study the permeation of four different solutesthrough different cholesterol containing lipid bilayers. In all bilayers the limiting permeationbarrier shifted towards the hydrophobic core, as the cholesterol concentration was increased.Cholesterols reducing...
