Interaction of cholesterol with photoactivable phospholipids in sonicated vesicles
Abstract
Photoactivable phospholipids containing either alpha-diazo-beta-trifluoropropionyloxy or m-diazirinophenoxyl groups in the omega-positions of sn-2 fatty acyl chains were synthesized and incorporated into sonicated vesicles containing 33 mol% of cholesterol. Photolysis of the vesicles at 350 nm produced covalent cross-links between the synthetic phospholipids and cholesterol. The cross-linked products obtained using [14C]cholesterol were …
