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 major goals of our research on oxidative lipid fragmentation is to conduct experiments that ... for a thorough understanding of factors influencing the generation and evolution of the end products ...

Researchers at the University of Surrey, in collaboration with an international team, have found that a unique mix of lipids in the fur’s sebum drastically reduces ice adhesion—an insight that could ...

Traditional approaches can take years to generate an effective lipid, but the team's guided evolution process may shorten that time to a matter of weeks or months. Our hope is that this method ...

Cutting-edge fluorescent cholesterol probes now enable scientists to visualize cholesterol movement and distribution in live cells with unprecedented detail. By combining computer simulations with ...

such as lipids, carbohydrates and metals, or non-natural probe or drug molecules – are used to gain insight into biological problems at a mechanistic level. Directed evolution is commonly ...
