Lipids adopt defined phases depending on their molecular structure and the physical conditions. In lipid mixtures, two fluid phases can coexist with different physical properties: liquid ...

For the first time, scientists have observed a phosphorus-containing lipid molecule that assembles ... Their special chemical structure allows phospholipids to self-assemble to form membranes ...

In comparison to other archaeal membrane lipids, crenarchaeol is very complex and, so far, attempts to confirm its structure by synthesizing the entire molecule have been unsuccessful. Organic ...

“We found that the A3 reaction was not only efficient, but also flexible enough to allow for precise control over the lipids’ molecular structure,” Mitchell related. This flexibility was key ...

Cells must constantly manage the structure and makeup ... the subunit composition and molecular architecture of the LPD-3 complex, including how lipid molecules interact with internal tunnel ...
