Figure 6From: Combined use of steady-state fluorescence emission and anisotropy of merocyanine 540 to distinguish crystalline, gel, ripple, and liquid crystalline phases in dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine bilayersEffect of cholesterol. The vesicles were synthesized with 0 mol% (Panel A), 15 mol% (Panel B), or 40 mol% (Panel C) cholesterol. The three measurements-anisotropy (solid squares), emission intensity (open triangles), and peak ratio (solid inverted triangles)-were measured for equilibrated vesicles. Data were normalized as described for Figures 2, 3, and 5.Back to article page
