Cholesterol is an essential component of eukaryotic cellular membranes that regulates the order and phase behaviour of dynamic lipid bilayers. Although cholesterol performs many vital physiological roles, hypercholesterolaemia and the accumulation of cholesterol in atherosclerotic plaques can increase the risk of coronary heart disease morbidity. The risk is mitigated by the transportation of cholesterol from peripheral tissue to the liver by high-density lipoprotein (HDL), 6-20 nm-diameter...
[NMR paper] Magnetically Aligned Lipid Bilayers with High Cholesterol for Solid-State NMR of Membrane Proteins
Magnetically Aligned Lipid Bilayers with High Cholesterol for Solid-State NMR of Membrane Proteins
Phospholipid bicelles are valuable membrane model systems to study membrane proteins by NMR and other physicochemical techniques. The range of bicelle compositions that are compatible with uniaxial alignment of the lipid bilayers in a magnetic field is still limited with regard to the addition of large amounts (>20%) of cholesterol and/or sphingolipids. Here, we demonstrate that n-dodecyl-?-D-melibioside (DDMB), which was recently introduced as a detergent to produce...

Human plasma low density lipoprotein has been oxidized at different stages in vitro and analysed by 1H, 13C, and 31P NMR spectroscopy and by biochemical methods. Information was obtained on: a) structure mobilities of lipids and on lipid-protein interactions; b) conjugated and oxo-dienes; c)...
