  • (17) A pitch length of approximately 2.5 microns for the cholesteric phase was determined both from optical measurements (optical light rotation) and from NMR measurements (solvent diffusion).
  • (18) The steady-state anisotropy of dehydroergosterol in LDL detected the cholesteric core phase transition near 30 degrees C. Fluorescence lifetime decays for dehydroergosterol contained two components, both below and above the cholesteric phase transition, with the major lifetime component near 1 ns.
  • (19) The possible morphogenetic role of the glucuronoxylans in the cholesteric organization of the cellulose is discussed.
