The Planar Organization of Lecithin-Cholesterol Bilayers
Open accessAbstract
Abstract The behavior of mixed phases of dipalmitoyl lecithin and cholesterol containing less than 33 mole per cent cholesterol has been followed by wide angle x-ray diffraction. Two phases are present in this region: a pure lecithin phase and a mixed phase of lecithin and cholesterol. We propose a model in which each cholesterol is surrounded by lipid hydrocarbon chains to describe the structure of the mixed phase.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
