The future: relating molecular interactions to lipid structure What is an accessible goal for future studies of real and model biological membranes? Chemists place great value on having predictive ...

Apolipoproteins (apo) such as apoB, apoC and apoE, coat lipoprotein particles and serve a number of functions including the transport of lipids in the blood and recognition of lipoprotein ...

Lipids include fats (solid at room temperature) and oils (liquid at room temperature). Lipids are an important part of a healthy diet. The body uses lipids as an energy store, as insulation and to ...

"But having both a bilayer-forming lipid, which provides the basic structure for the cell membrane, and a non-bilayer-forming lipid, such as cholesterol, which adds stability, seems to be a ...

The authors present an introduction to the basics of lipid metabolism including an overview of the structure and function of lipoproteins and a description of the pathways of lipid metabolism.

ApoB100 has evaded structural characterization until now. At 550 kDa, it is one of the largest human proteins, and its ...

Just as a chef perfects a dish by experimenting with flavors and textures, the researchers used an iterative process, testing variations to find the ideal structure for the ionizable lipid.
