Comment on “Cholesterol solubility limit in lipid membranes probed by small angle neutron scattering and MD simulations” by S. Garg et al., Soft Matter, 2014, 10, 9313
Abstract
In a recent article, Garg et al. used neutron scattering techniques to determine the limiting amount of cholesterol which vesicles of either POPS or POPC can accommodate. This amount was called “the cholesterol solubility limit”. In light of extensive literature on cholesterol phase separation in phospholipid bilayers, the way in which “solubility limit” is defined in this article and the conclusions derived are misleading and require some clarification.
