Synthesis of C-glycosyl phosphonate derivatives of 4-amino-4-deoxy-α-ʟ-arabinose
The incorporation of basic substituents into the structurally conserved domains of cell wall lipopolysaccharides has been identified as a major mechanism contributing to antimicrobial resistance of Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria.

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), a major component of the outer membranes of gram-negative bacteria, is composed of a polysaccharide chain attached to a lipid A base that contains a disaccharide headgroup with two negative phosphate groups and at least four acyl chains.

Lipid A, the hydrophobic domain of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), is a strong immunostimulator and therefore a valuable target for the development of novel immunomodulators.

Discovery of a lipid synthesising organ in the auditory system of an insect [PDF]
Weta possess typical Ensifera ears. Each ear comprises three functional parts: two equally sized tympanal membranes, an underlying system of modified tracheal chambers, and the auditory sensory organ, the crista acustica.

A lipid transfer protein that transfers lipid [PDF]
Very few lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) have been caught in the act of transferring lipids in vivo from a donor membrane to an acceptor membrane. Now, two studies (Halter, D., S. Neumann, S.M. van Dijk, J. Wolthoorn, A.M. de Maziere, O.V. Vieira, P. Mattjus, J. Klumperman, G. van Meer, and H. Sprong. 2007. J. Cell Biol.

Lateral phase separation in mixtures of lipids and cholesterol [PDF]
In an effort to understand "rafts" in biological membranes, we propose phenomenological models for saturated and unsaturated lipid mixtures, and lipid-cholesterol mixtures.

Onsager’s variational principle in soft matter : introduction and application to the dynamics of adsorption of proteins onto fluid membranes [PDF]
This book is the first collection of lipid-membrane research conducted by leading mechanicians and experts in continuum mechanics. It brings the overall intellectual framework afforded by modern continuum mechanics to bear on a host of challenging ...

Genome sequence comparisons to infer likely gene functions require accurate ortholog assignments. In Pseudomonas spp., the sensor-regulator ColS-ColR two-component regulatory system responds to zinc and other metals to control certain membrane-related ...

Statistical mechanics of a lipid monolayer [PDF]
We calculate from first principles the equation of state of a simple type of membrane: a monolayer consisting of lipid chain molecules with short-range repulsive and long-range attractive forces.
