Role of Acyl Lipids in the Function of Photosynthetic Membranes in Higher Plants This is due probably to the fact that, in contrast to proteins, lipids have by themselves no recognized catalytic properties. They allow the maintenance of an appropriate conformation and orientation of proteins which ...
Proteins, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and lipids are the major constituents of living organisms. Among these materials, lipids are unique because of their hydrophobic properties. Phospholipids, cholesterol, and triacylglycerol (TG) cannot be dissolved in an aqueous atmosphere, so they are packed ...
Samples from the UK featured higher levels of phosphatidylethanolamine and, in general, a lower content of galactolipids. These differences highlight the influence of site-specific environmental conditions in the shaping of macroalgae biochemical phenotypes and nutritional value. It is also important to...

In one vesicle set, membrane of a GUV was labeled allowing to control localization of lipids as well as making sure that no hemifusion has occurred. In the other set of vesicles, syb was labeled to allow for monitoring of protein behavior at the interface (Fig. 1a left). When mixed ...

The geometric packing properties of PG and lysophospholipids therefore may together with the change in the peptidoglycan structure [45] allow the forming of spherical cells or coccoid forms. In conclusion, C. jejuni possesses a unique phospholipidome compared to other bacteria. The phosholipidome ...
[85]. Compared to the wild type, thesefad2mutants showed affected root growth, impaired seed germination and a reduced survival rate under high salt conditions. Their abnormal fatty acid profile resulted in an altered composition of membrane lipids and affected the fluidity of their cell membranes...

We explored the heterogeneity of the protein complex using mass spectrometry to determine the extent of oligomerization, the presence of lipids and the stability in different detergents23. A mass spectrum of the intact RL1 oligomer from a DDM micelle (Fig. 1a) revealed species with a mass ...
