(B) A single glycerophospholipid molecule is composed of two major regions: a hydrophilic head (green) and hydrophobic tails (purple). (C) The subregions of a glycerophospholipid molecule ...

By understanding how lipid interactions regulate DP2 activity, researchers can develop targeted therapies that minimize side effects. More information: Jiuyin Xu et al, Molecular basis of lipid ...

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 ...

This compound was neither a protein nor a lipid nor a carbohydrate, so it was therefore a novel type of biological molecule. Miescher named his discovery "nuclein," because he had isolated it from ...

The Farese & Walther laboratory investigates cellular lipid and energy metabolism, in particular the mechanisms and physiology of neutral lipid synthesis and storage in lipid droplets. More broadly ...
