Cholesterol Induces Uneven Curvature of Asymmetric Lipid Bilayers

A remarkable flexibility is observed in biological membranes, which allows them to form the structures of different curvatures. We addressed the question of intrinsic ability of phospholipid membranes to form highly curved structures and the role of cholesterol in this process. The distribution of c...
