Bilayers


2%3a1 DPPC%3aCholesterol Complex    A complex with OH...O and CH...O bonds
Structure of the bilayer with 50 mol%25 cholesterol.

Structure of the bilayer with 50 mol% cholesterol sulfate
Structure of the bilayer with 50 mol%25 cholesterol sulfate

Carbon atoms of cholesterol sulfate molecules are shown in green. Cholesterol sulfate has a bulky charged SO4- group, therefore to ensure the electroneutrality of the system we added sodium atoms (Na+, shown as purple spheres).
