thephospholipidmolecule is composed of a hydrophobic moiety comprising two fatty acid chains, and a hydrophilic head made of glycerol and phosphate. The bilayer structure is formed when the fatty acid moiety of one layer faces the fatty acid moiety of another layer and the head groups face the ...
Phospholipid Bilayer Structure The phospholipid bilayer is made of two layers of phospholipids. Each phospholipid has a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail. The two layers are arranged so that the tails face inward and the hydrophilic heads face outward toward the extracellular environment or the...
lecithin- a yellow phospholipid essential for the metabolism of fats; found in egg yolk and in many plant and animal cells; used commercially as an emulsifier lipid,lipide,lipoid- an oily organic compound insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents; essential structural component of living ...

The structure and dynamics of phosphatidylcholine bilayers are examined by reviewing the results of several nanoseconds of molecular dynamics simulations on a number of bilayer and monolayer models. The lengths of these simulations, the longest single one of which was 2 nanoseconds, were sufficiently ...
Generalizing the mechanism (i.e., hydrophobic/hydrophobic interaction) that primarily drives bilayer formation, we report here that such a bilayer structure can also be successfully obtained when aromatic thiols are employed in place of alkanethiols. Four aromatic thiols were studied here (thiophenol,...
In this paper we present a systematic study of the morphology and composition of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) formed by vesicle fusion using a wide variety of surface sensitive techniques that give information about the lateral as well as vertical structure and bilayer fluidity. SLBs of 1-pal...
X-ray structure of a calcium-activated TMEM16 lipid scramblase. Nature 516, 207–212 (2014). This article reports the first tertiary structure of TMEM16 homodimer with fungus TMEM16. The structure has a rhomboidal architecture with a trans-bilayer hydrophilic groove at the periphery. Article ...
The specific names for gangliosides are a key to their structure. The letter G refers to ganglioside, and the subscripts M, D, T and Q indicate that the molecule contains mono-, di-, tri and quatra(tetra)-sialic acid. The numerical subscripts 1, 2 and 3 refer to the carbohydrate ...
