Interplay of Unsaturated Phospholipids and Cholesterol in Membranes: Effect of the Double-Bond Position

The structural and dynamical properties of lipid membranes rich in phospholipids and cholesterol are known to be strongly affected by the unsaturation of lipid acyl chains. We show that not only unsaturation but also the position of a double bond has a pronounced effect on membrane properties. We co...
