b) They are all made of fatty acids and glycerol. c) Lipids are all acidic when mixed with water. d) Lipids don't dissolve in water.Which ONE of the following statements is INCORRECT with respect to lipids? A. When a saturated fat is converted ...
Lipids and lipid metabolism in eukaryotic algae Irina A. Guschina, John L. Harwood, in Progress in Lipid Research, 2006 Some red algae (an example is Gracilariopsis lemaneiformis) metabolize 20C acids via 8-, 9- or 12-lipoxygenase (LOX)-initiated pathways, whereas other species contain o...
Which lipoprotein delivers the most dietary lipids to cells? What are the different uses of carbohydrates in the body? What is the monomer 'building block' from which the DNA polymer is built? A spherical cell is 27 micron in diameter. If a protei...
Phosphate groups in GAC are involved in the phosphodiester bond linking glycerol to the GlcNAc side-chain and the GAC reducing terminal sugar residue to peptidoglycan15. b Release of GAC from GAS cell wall by mild acid hydrolysis or HONO deamination, before and after chemical N-acetylation. The...
Monomer profiling of cell wall-associated and polymer-linked aliphatic suberin monomers in 1-month-old tomato roots revealed a predominance of α,ω-dicarboxylic acids, similar to potato12. Compared withArabidopsisroots, which mostly feature ω-OH acids and a maximum chain length of 24 carbons (...
1 A). In addition, two intermediate stages can be distinguished: the membrane-bound monomer and the heptameric pre-pore (8, 9). The pre-pore appears to be irreversibly associated, but the β-barrel is not yet inserted in the membrane (Fig. 1 B). During insertion, the central loop ...
Cancer is defined by the WHO (World Health Organization) as a group of diseases caused by abnormal, uncontrolled cell growth, which can be located in almost any organ or tissue of the body.1 The pr...
Moire, L.; Schmutz, A.; Buchala, A.; Yan, B.; Stark, R.E.; Ryser, U. Glycerol is a suberin monomer. New experimental evidence for an old hypothesis.Plant Physiol.1999,119, 1137–1146. [Google Scholar] [CrossRef] [PubMed] ...
The FXR-LBD/2-oxokolavenol, FXR-LBD/2-oxokolavelool, and FXR-LBD/kolavenol molecular docking simulations were performed based on the reported structure of the FXR-LBD/OCA complex (PDB ID, 1OSV). One monomer structure of the FXR-LBD/OCA complex dimer was isolated and the OCA was removed...
The conformational changes converting BAX from an inert cytosolic monomer into the homo-oligomers that permeabilize the mitochondrial outer membrane (MOM) are crucial steps toward apoptosis. Here, we have explored the potential role of the BAX α1−α2 loop in this process by three mutagenic appr...
