Another type of fatty acid that has gotten a lot of attention recently is the trans fatty acid. Trans fatty acids have a hydrocarbon tail with a double bond that is in the trans configuration, instead of the more common cis configuration (see Figure 9). Figure 9: A comparison of the cis...

When a long chain of bonded carbon atoms attaches to a carboxyl group, it's called a fatty acid. This is the simplest type of lipid polymer. A carboxyl group consists of a carbon atom that forms a double bond with a single oxygen atom and a single bond with an oxygen atom that's bo...

Background: Members of the subtilisin family of serine proteases usually have a conserved asparagine residue that stabilizes the oxyanion transition state of peptide-bond hydrolysis. Yeast Kex2 protease is a member of the subtilisin family that differs from die degradative subtilisin proteases in its ...
* The double bond in the unsaturated fatty acid chain caused the chain to bend (with a kink). This causes the chain to push the adjacent phospholipid thus creating a little distance between phospholipid molecules. In doing so, the kinks contribute to the overall fluidity of the membrane....

5A). The reaction catalyzed by SMS (ceramide + PC → SM + DAG) proceeds without the consumption of biological energy (e.g., hydrolysis of the high-energy phosphate bond in ATP). However, PC, a precursor of SM, is synthesized at the expense of biological energy (DAG + CDP-choline →...
To determine the influence of the alkenyl-based lipid counterpart on the self-assembly of amphiphilic molecules, two families of low MW surfactants were designed. One family was based on a hydrophobic chain with a single double bond (cis alkene, as oleic acid), while the other family had a ...
