The calculated key parameters of the phospholipid membranes from molecular dynamics simulations showed a clear trend of both CHOL and DOTAP to decrease Na + interaction with the membrane, which could also contribute to the differential behavior of liposomes relative to the adsorption of BSA, in addition to explaining the observed ζ-potential trend with increasing non-DPPC lipid.

This suggests that the lack of an overall trend in ζ-potential values in formulations without added salt could be attributed to the stabilizing effect of CHOL alone, with only small effects from the presence of Na + ions in the buffer.
