Lipid-binding sites and properties were compared in the hetero-oligomeric cytochrome (cyt) b₆f and the yeast bc₁ complexes that function, respectively, in photosynthetic and respiratory electron ...

In addition to providing energy, lipids are also essential building blocks of our cell membranes. However, despite their ...

New understandings of how lipids function within tears could lead to better drugs for treating dry eye disease. A new approach has given Hokkaido University researchers insight into the synthesis and ...

New understandings of how lipids function within tears could lead to better drugs for treating dry eye disease. New understandings of how lipids function within tears could lead to better drugs for ...

Lipids are the main component of cellular membranes. They are highly diverse in structure, and the distribution of different lipids and their species (membrane lipid composition) varies at the ...

To be effective, lipids must be transported from where they are produced to where they are needed. Unlike proteins, they do ...

A new study shows that lipid droplets in the leaves contain plant proteins such as different myosin binding proteins involved in intracellular movement, and several enzymes responsible for ...

Scientists who add detergents to their cell preps, take heed: You might be consigning the most interesting stuff to the trash bin. Not proteins, surely, or nucleic acids, but lipids. A class of ...

The anthers in flowers perform important functions in sexual reproduction. Several recent studies used microarrays to study anther transcriptomes to explore genes controlling anther development. To ...

All the information about a person’s health (e.g., their exposure to chemicals, their inherited risks, their current illnesses) lies within their molecules, according to scientists. Thus, a team of ...

AB Sciex and the University of Wollongong (UOW) in Australia have established a partnership to develop a lipid structural analysis platform based on the university’s OzID (ozone induced dissociation) ...
