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 ...

These tools can be activated by light. Milena Schuhmacher, the lead author of the study, explains: "Lipids are actually not individual molecular structures, but differ in tiny chemical details.

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 ...

and overlapping enzymatic activities explain the fact that a relatively small set of enzymes generates a vast number of distinct lipid species with defined molecular structures and unique biologic ...

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 ...

All the information about a person’s health (e.g., their exposure to chemicals, their inherited risks, their current illnesses) lies within their molecules, according to scientists. Thus, a team ...

“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 ...

Plant cells possess cell subcellular structures or organelles called lipid droplets (LDs ... unique plant proteins that perform essential molecular functions. For example, seed LDs localize ...
