The interaction of cholesterol with the neighboring lipids modulates several physical properties of the membrane. Mostly, it affects membrane fluidity, membrane permeability, lateral diffusion of lipids, bilayer thickness, and water penetration into the lipid bilayer. Due to the smaller head group to hydrophobic cross-sectional area of the tail, cholesterol induces intrinsic negative curvature to the membrane. The interaction of cholesterol with sphingolipids forms lipid rafts; generates phase separation in the membrane. The cholesterol-dependent mo
