| Abstract | The separate identification of the -N(+)-(CH(3))(3) groups located on the outside and inside of phospholipid bilayers observed in proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy upon addition of low concentrations of praseodymium ion was exploited to investigate the effects of incorporated cholesterol. Only about 7% of the phosphate groups on the outside of the bilayer belong to a class of strong binding or shifting sites. Upon addition of up to about 30% cholesterol to egg lecithin bilayers, no changes in chemical shift or ratio of areas of peaks due to outer and inner -N(+)(CH(3))(3) groups appear. At about 30% incorporated cholesterol, an abrupt decrease occurs in the chemical-shift difference between -N(+)(CH(3))(3) groups located on the outer and inner bilayer surfaces, and an abrupt increase occurs in the ratio of the areas of the two peaks. For L-alpha-dipalmitoyl lecithin bilayers, an abrupt change in chemical-shift difference occurring between 10 and 20% cholesterol is not accompanied by a change in the relative number of -N(+)(CH(3))(3) groups located on the outer and inner surfaces. These results are interpreted as due to the homogeneous distribution of up to 30% cholesterol in egg lecithin bilayers. Above 30%, cholesterol is asymmetrically distributed in favor of the inner layer. In egg lecithin with a variety of polyunsaturated side chains, the side chains with the greater number of double bonds are preferentially displaced by high concentrations of cholesterol, which accounts for the increase in the ratio of outer to inner -N(+)(CH(3))(3) groups. Such preferential displacement by cholesterol cannot occur with the saturated L-alpha-dipalmitoyl lecithin. It is suggested that modified phospholipid vesicles of low radii of curvature may provide high concentrations of 'active sites' present in membranes. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
