Abstract

The interaction between oxidized cholesterol and water has been investigated by the optical as well as the dielectric method. It was concluded that charge-transfer exciton states may account for the spectral changes in both optical and dielectric spectra and that a hopping-like conduction mechanism operates in both wet bulk lipid samples and bimolecular lipid membranes. The existence of charge-transfer excitons at biological interfaces has been postulated.
