We are taught that plasma membranes are a typical lipid bilayer, but how do we know this, and who figured it out? Aa Aa Aa Most books mention that membranes have a typical "lipid bilayer," but why ...

The hydrophilic head is composed of a choline structure (blue) and a phosphate (orange). This head is connected to a glycerol (green) with two hydrophobic tails (purple) called fatty acids.

Decades of work have yielded lipid nanoparticle structures that deliver RNA to specific locations in the body. This ...

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.

Research papers focused on the importance of LNP structures and injection route in developing better LNP non-viral gene therapies for autoimmune diseases and metabolic disorders, such as diabetes.

adding that the database also provides information on paired lipid-protein annotation, experimental binding affinities, intermolecular interactions, and atomic structures across a wide range of li ...

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 ...
