Article: Research on biophysics reported by scientists at Pennsylvania State University.

According to recent research from the United States, "Cholesterol-rich, liquid-ordered (L-o) domains are believed to be biologically relevant, and yet detailed knowledge about them, especially in live cells under physiological conditions, is elusive. Although these domains have been observed in model membranes, understanding cholesterol-lipid interactions at the molecular level, under controlled lipid mixing, remains a challenge."

"Further, although there are a number of fluorescent lipid analogs that partition into liquid-disordered (L-d) domains, the number of such analogs with a high aff inity for biologically relevant L-o domains is limited. Here, we use a ...
