Larry R. McLean** and Michael C. Phillips* abstract: The rate of [4-14C] cholesterol transfer from phosphatidylcholine (PC) small unilamellar vesicles of different acyl chain compositions and cholesterol concentrations has been followed as a function of temperature in the presence of excess acceptor vesicles. Cholesterol-PC vesicles containing either egg PC, dimyristoyl-PC (DMPC), or dipalmitoyl-PC (DPPC) were used as either donor or acceptor vesicles. One population of vesicles contained 15 mol% dicetyl phosphate to confer a negative charge so that the donor and acceptor vesicles could be separated rapidly by ion-exchange chromatography. The rate of cholesterol transfer from negatively charged 20 mol% cholesterol-egg yolk PCvesicles to pure egg PC, DMPC, or DPPC vesicles was followed over a temperature range which included the gel to liquid-crystal transition temperatures (Tc) of the saturated PC acceptor vesicles. The Arrhenius plots for all three systems are linear and su-perimposable so that the activation energy (£ a) is close to 88 kJ/mol in every case. Thus, neither the rate nor the£ a for transfer is dependent upon the physical state of the hydrocarbon chains in the acceptor vesicles when acceptor vesicles are in excess; this is consistent with earlierfindings that under such conditions the rate of cholesterol transfer is determined by the rate of cholesterol desorption from the donor vesicle bilayer into the aqueous phase. The rate of cholesterol de-sorption from donor vesicles containing 1 mol% cholesterol
