Cholesterol modulates membrane elasticity via unified biophysical laws by Teshani Kumarage, Sudipta Gupta, Nicholas B. Morris, Fathima T. Doole, Haden L. Scott, Laura-Roxana Stingaciu, Sai Venkatesh Pingali, John Katsaras, George Khelashvili, Milka Doktorova, Michael F. Brown, Rana Ashkar

“…Using nuclear spin techniques and computational analysis, we find that mesoscopic bending moduli follow a universal dependence on the lipid packing density regardless of cholesterol content, lipid unsaturation, or temperature. Our observations reveal that compositional complexity can be explained by simple biophysical laws that directly map membrane elasticity to molecular packing associated with biological function, curvature transformations, and protein interactions. …”
