Lipid and Lipidation in Membrane Fusion
The Journal of Membrane Biology, 2022 Membrane fusion plays a lead role in the transport of vesicles, neurotransmission, mitochondrial dynamics, and viral infection. There are fusion proteins that catalyze and regulate the fusion. Interestingly, various types of fusion proteins are present in nature and they possess diverse mechanisms of action.

Applied Phycology, 2021 Animals cannot produce β-carotene, and therefore they exclusively depend on its dietary availability. We previously showed that a 9-cis β-carotene-enriched diet, provided as Dunaliella powder, has a beneficial effect on atherosclerosis and diabetes ...

Lipid Simulations: A Perspective on Lipids in Action [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2011 In this article, we provide an overview of lipid simulations, describing how a computer can be used as a laboratory for lipid research. We briefly discuss the methodology of lipid simulations followed by a number of topical applications that show the benefit of computer modeling for complementing experiments. In particular, we show examples of cases in

cDNA cloning of carboxyl ester lipase from human pancreas reveals a unique proline-rich repeat unit.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1991 We report the isolation and nucleotide sequence of the cDNA for carboxyl ester lipase (CEL) from human pancreas. CEL was purified from human pancreas and microsequence analysis was performed on the amino-terminal and internal peptides.
