@article{Arora2004InfluenceOC, title={Influence of cholesterol and ergosterol on membrane dynamics: a fluorescence approach.}, author={Ajuna Arora and H. Raghuraman and A. Chattopadhyay}, journal={Biochemical and biophysical research communications}, year={2004}, volume={318 4}, pages={ 920-6 } }
Sterols are essential membrane components of eukaryotic cells and are important for membrane organization and function. [...] Key Method We have monitored the effect of cholesterol and ergosterol on the dynamic properties of both fluid (POPC) and gel (DPPC) phase membranes utilizing the environment-sensitive fluorescent membrane probe DPH. Our results from steady state and time-resolved fluorescence measurements show, for the first time, differential effects of ergosterol and cholesterol toward membrane…Expand Abstract
