(C) The subregions of a glycerophospholipid molecule; phosphatidylcholine is shown as an example. The hydrophilic head is composed of a choline structure (blue) and a phosphate (orange).

Quickly it became apparent that the world of lipids was one of extreme diversity in structure ... thousands of different molecular species were found to be present in tissues and cells.

They found that some lipid structures, based on their nitrogen ... They can screen thousands of molecules on the computer to ...

This gives them a rigid structure. Supports and strengthens cell? Cell membrane Selectively permeable double layer of lipid and protein molecules? All cell types ? Fluid enclosed by the cell ...

Integral membrane proteins carry out essential functions in the cell, and their activities are often modulated by specific protein-lipid interactions in the membrane. Here, we elucidate the intricate ...

"We knew from the literature that elevated lipid levels correlate with severity of cancer growth and metastasis, but it was unclear how," Soula says. The Birsoy lab, in conjunction with the ...
