Abstract
- We describe the formation of lipid microtubes from a novel cholesterol-modified nucleoside in binary mixture with phospholipids. Stable cylindrical structures with an outer diameter of 2-3 microm and a length of 20-40 microm were formed. By varying the preparation conditions, thinner tubules with nanometre-scale diameters could also be obtained.
