Current Issues in Plant Cryopreservation (2012, background): “Phospholipids essentially maintain the structure, fluidity and permeability of the membrane, determined to some extent by the type of phospholipid present and the level of unsaturation in their fatty acid tails (Emmelot & Vanhoeven, 1975; van Meer et al., 2008).”
An Integrated Framework Advancing Membrane Protein Modeling and Design (2015, background): “Effects needed to create the next generation of this model include intrinsic curvature, charge asymmetry [76–78], and variable thickness [79], attributed to the diverse repertoire of lipids that constitute the membrane environment [80].”
Revitalizing membrane rafts: new tools and insights (2010, background): “jpg"/> Cell membranes contain hundreds of lipids in two asymmetric leaflet”
Lipid map of the mammalian cell (2011, background): “This segregation of lipids and proteins forms the basic sorting mechanism by which cells maintain the unique lipid composition of their membranes (Simons and van Meer, 1988; van Meer et al., 2008).”
CERAMIDE SYNTHASE 1 IS REGULATED BY PROTEASOMAL MEDIATED TURNOVER (2009, background): “In addition to its structural role as a membrane component [1], it is involved in a variety of cellular functions including the regulation of cell growth, differentiation and viability [2–4].”
The Various Roles of Fatty Acids (2018, background): “These lipids, together with cholesterol, compartmentalize and coalesce in cell membranes, organelle membranes, bilayer leaflets forming a mosaic of gel and fluid domains coexisting in the plane of the lipid bilayer [110,111].”
Computing structure-based lipid accessibility of membrane proteins with mp_lipid_acc in RosettaMP (2016, background): “…for crystallization or structure determination is very different from a native membrane environment because it lacks the exact lipid composition [6], membrane thickness, asymmetry [7], lateral pressure [8] and shape [9] (compare micelles, bicelles, nanodiscs, lipidic cubic phases vs. a flat or…”
Palmitic Acid: Physiological Role, Metabolism and Nutritional Implications (2017, background): “Finally, lipids can be chemically modified and they can act as messengers in signal transduction and molecular recognition processes (van Meer et al., 2008).”
