The effects of cryosolvents on DOPC-ß-sitosterol bilayers determined from molecular dynamics simulations

Polyhydroxylated alcohols and DMSO are common cryosolvents that can damage cell membranes at sufficiently high concentrations. The interaction of representative plant cell membranes composed of mixed 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC)-ß-sitosterol bilayers, at a range of compositions, w...
