Nearest-neighbor recognition experiments have been carried out using varying ratios of exchangeable dimer analogs of 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylglycerol and 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylglycerol in cholesterol-rich unilamellar vesicles at 60 degrees C. Equilibrium dimer distributions that were obtained support a structural model of the liquid-ordered bilayer in which free cholesterol and the longer-chain phospholipid homodimer are in equilibrium with a complex of unique ...[more]
