Cholesterol fits in well with this theory's major arguments, as it breaks up van der Waals attractions and close packing of lipid tails.
Cholesterol fits in well with this theory's major arguments, as it breaks up van der Waals attractions and close packing of lipid tails. It was proposed by Singer and Nicolson in 1972, and accounts for the inevitable flip-flop from the lipids PS and PE, in fact arguing that this maneuver increases permeability. Its name arises from the varied proteins, phospholipids, and other molecules that exist within it and the liquidity that characterizes materials passing semi-permeably. For ten points, name this model of the cell membrane.
