Popis: The influence of cholesterol on the bending elasticity of lipid membranes from 1-stearoyl-2-oleoyl- sn- glycero-3-phosphocholine (SOPC) was studied. We used the analysis of thermally induced shape fluctuations of giant nearly-spherical lipid vesicles for the determination of the bending elastic modulus. At relatively low concentrations (
