Why do hydrogen ions have to bond with hydroxide ions? Can't they bond with something else with the same valence electron need? Answer and Explanation: H+ is a positively charged ion and can form bond with any negatively charged ion ...
A major structural parameter known to have an impact on the phase transition temperature of lipid bilayers is the ability of a lipid to form intermolecular hydrogen bonds with surrounding lipids. Intermolecular hydrogen bonds are mainly formed between the carbonyl and the amide group of SM and the...
We speculate that C4-OHs and C2-OHs are needed to interact with the plasma membrane proteins via hydrogen bonds. While C4-OH acts as a donor and acceptor of hydrogen bonding in lipid-lipid and lipid-protein interactions, C2-OH only acts as a donor. Hence, the loss of C4-OH has a ...
