fatty acids are constituents of more complex structures like lipopolysaccharides. Fatty acids have interesting chemical properties because of highly hydrophobic (water repelling) and highly hydrophilic (water soluble) regions. Palmitate, e.g., is a 16-carbon fatty acid composed of a chain of 15 satu...
5.1.1 Rhamnolipids Structures and Properties Rhamnolipids consist of a rhamnose-based moiety linked to a β-hydroxy fatty acid-based moiety. The former contains one or two rhamnose residues; accordingly, rhamnolipids are often classified as monorhamnolipids or dirhamnolipids. Similarly, the lipid ...

which share overlapping but distinct substrate transport profiles. Finally, our structures will prove valuable for the design of computational studies aimed at deciphering the fatty acid transport properties and lipid interactions of ABCD1 and provide a solid foundation for structure-based design of corre...
In this study, we used CARS microscopy to image living cancer cells and discovered heterogeneity in the chemical composition of the mitochondria. We found that some mitochondria tend to accumulate fatty acids (FAs) and show strong signals of lipids after hypothermia exposure, likely induced by the...
Pyrene fatty acids (see below) also exhibit excimer formation but their emission is at much shorter wavelengths than that of the BODIPY dyes and they are therefore less suitable for the study of live cells. The fluorophores in our current selection of BODI...
