But this process only happens in certain microdomains that are rich in sterols and oleosins along the membrane. The Brookhaven team hypothesizes that sterol is essential to the formation of these ...

1) Live-Cell Imaging of Sterol Transport to the Yeast Vacuole; 2) Eukaryotic sterol membrane integration; 3) Sterol Affinity of NPC2 and NTD and Sterol Transfer Assays ...

These azoles antifungals target a crucial enzyme for sterol biosynthesis, called CYP51. While not fungi, both Leishmania species have biochemical similarities to fungi in their plasma membrane ...

The researchers observed voids in the membrane density beneath the amphipathic helix, likely due to sterols like ergosterol, the main sterol in yeast cells. Sterols modulate membrane fluidity and ...
