Effect of cholesterol on the molecular structure and transitions in a clinical-grade lung surfactant extract [Chemistry]

The lipid–protein film covering the interface of the lung alveolar in mammals is vital for proper lung function and its deficiency is related to a range of diseases. Here we present a molecular-level characterization of a clinical-grade porcine lung surfactant extract using a multitechnique approach consisting of H1–C13 solid-state nuclear...
