Mammalian cell membranes are composed of a complex array of glycerophospholipids and
sphingolipids that vary in head-group and acyl-chain composition. In a given cell type …

Without any exaggeration, cholesterol is one of the most important lipid species in eukaryotic
cells. Its effects on cellular membranes and functions range from purely mechanistic to …

The great variety of lipids present in membranes and the specificity of the lipid composition
of different types of membrane suggest that many of these lipids have specific roles to play …

Low density lipoprotein (LDL) particles are the major cholesterol carriers in circulation and
their physiological function is to carry cholesterol to the cells. In the process of atherogenesis …

Recent research has provided an abundance of new information on membrane
biochemistry. Now more than ever, it is essential to update our current understanding of …

Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) and phosphatidylglycerol (PG) are the main lipid
components of the inner bacterial membrane. A computer model for such a membrane was …

This investigation presents a quantitative analysis of the asymmetric transmembrane lipid
packing geometry in egg phosphatidylcholine vesicles. The analysis uses hydrodynamic …

Abstract C-Reactive protein (CRP), the most characteristic of the 'acute phase proteins'(ref.
1) is thought to participate in the mediation and/or modulation of acute inflammatory …

Neutron diffraction experiments on selectively deuterated lipids provide a new method of
determining to a segmental resolution the mean conformation of a lipid molecule as …
