Indicator lipids for microbial functional groups.J. Herzberger, AnnaS. Duncan, DavidJackson, Randall D
Specific targets include the improvement in growth and development of infants, treatment of disease in adults, and disease prevention. Efforts have been focussed on the production of structured lipids using medium-chain acids and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), as well as the ...
b Chemical structures of the lipids used and their composition in the complex lipid bilayer (if present). Enclosed in the box are the lipids used in the homogeneous bilayer systems, covering all three headgroups and varying levels of acyl chain unsaturation. POPC (1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-...
Glycosyltransferases (GTs) (EC 2.4.x.y) catalyze the transfer of sugar moieties to a wide range of acceptor molecules, such as sugars, lipids, proteins, nucleic acids, antibiotics and other small molecules, including plant secondary metabolites. These enzymes can be classified into at least 92 ...
Ether lipids, such as plasmalogens, are peroxisome-derived glycerophospholipids in which the hydrocarbon chain at the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbon
Bottom: in vitro lipid-binding assays. WT, as a positive control, is known to bind GGGP or GGPP. Negative controls were lipids alone. DGGGPase variants are indicated. The reactions were detected by incubating with an anti-6 × His antibody. (D) Identified key residues involved in lipids ...
However, in homeostasis PtdSer is not generally externally exposed, yet it clearly plays a vital role in healthy cells. The function of PtdSer, as with all lipids, is determined by both its concentration and sidedness in individual organellar membranes. Mitochondria associated membranes (MAMs) of...
The Study of Reactive Functional Groups in Adhesive Bonding at the Aramid-Epoxy Interface In polymeric composites, reactive functional groups on the fiber surface are assumed to enhance the mechanical strength of the fiber-matrix interface great...

groups into the bacterial membrane. Pore formation is often connected to a local change in membrane thickness9. Under the carpet model, peptides are accumulated on the bacterial membrane surface10, with AMPs working similarly to detergents and breaking off membrane lipids into micelle-like structures...
Many strains of LAB are among the most important groups of microorganisms used in the food and feed industries, although some of the genus Pediococcus cause deterioration of foods, which results in their spoilage [4]. LAB have been used in food preservation and for the modification of the orga...
