Application

25-NBD Cholesterol is suitable:
  • as a cholesterol source in De Man, Rogosa and Sharpe (MRS) broth used for qualitative cholesterol assimilation study
  • for use in the outer lipid coating step during the preparation of fluorescently labelled lipid-coated calcium phosphate (LCP)- gemcitabine monophosphate (GMP)
  • for liposome preparation

Biochem/physiol Actions

Nitrobenzoxadiazolyl (NBD) cholesterol is a fluorescently tagged cholesterol, useful to differentiate exogenous and endogenous cholesterol in bacterial cell membrane. The NBD cholesterol is indicated as green colour in fluorescent signals.

Protein-lipid interactions in cellular membranes modulate central cellular functions, are often transient in character, but occur too intermittently to be readily observable. We introduce transient state imaging (TRAST), combining sensitive fluorescence detection of fluorophore markers with monitoring of their dark
