The Interfacial Tension of the Lipid Membrane Formed From Lipid–Cholesterol and Lipid–Lipid Systems
Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2006Interfacial tension has been determined for phosphatidylcholine-cholesterol, phosphatidylcholine-phosphatidylethanolamine, and phosphatidylethanolamine-cholesterol membranes. Phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), and cholesterol (Ch) were to be investigated, because of their presence in biological membranes.

Lipids and lipid domains of the yeast vacuole
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2018The membrane raft has been a focus of intensive research for the past two decades. Liquid-ordered domains form in artificial liposomes containing sterol and saturated lipids, but their presence in living cell membranes has been controversial. The yeast vacuole is exceptional in that micron-sized raft-like domains form in the stationary phase and under ...

Lipid Packing in Lipid-Wrapped Nanoparticles
The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 2018Equilibrium simulations of lipid-wrapped nanoparticles (LNP) were performed using a hybrid molecular dynamics/Monte Carlo (MD/MC) approach. The radius, R, of a spherical nanoparticle (NP) core was adjusted with MC moves while a surrounding lipid bilayer was treated with MD.

Lipids: Alkenones, Polar Lipids, and Ether Lipids
2011This chapter focuses on several classes of polar lipids, including alkenones, which are di-, tri-, and tetra-unsaturated long-chain ketones. These compounds are produced by a restricted number of species of prymnesiophyte algae (coccolithophorid alga Emiliania huxleyi), living over a wide temperature range.

Lipidized dermatofibromas and their relationship to serum lipids
Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2006Lipidized dermatofibromas represent a rare variant of dermatofibroma that has been regarded as an incidental finding with no particular clinical significance.The goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between lipidized dermatofibromas and patient age, anatomic location, and serum total cholesterol.A retrospective case control format was

Analysis of Lipids and Lipid Rafts in Borrelia
2017Lipid rafts are membrane microdomains that are involved in cellular processes such as protein trafficking and signaling processes, and which play a fundamental role in membrane fluidity and budding. The lipid composition of the membrane and the biochemical characteristics of the lipids found within rafts define the ability of cells to form microdomains

The lipid and non-lipid effects of statins
Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2003The 3-hydroxy-3-methyl glutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, more commonly known as statins, are a class of drug widely used for the treatment of hypercholesterolaemia in patients with established cardiovascular disease as well as those at high risk of developing atherosclerosis. Their predominant action is to reduce circulating levels of

Microbial Lipid Alternatives to Plant Lipids
2019Lipids are in high demand in food production, nutritional supplements, detergents, lubricants, and biofuels. Different oil seeds produced from plants are conventionally extracted to yield lipids. With increasing population and reduced availability of cultivable land, conventional methods of producing lipids alone will not satisfy increasing demand ...

Lipid polymorphism and protein–lipid interactions
Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Reviews on Biomembranes, 1998Non-lamellar-forming lipids play an important role in determining the physical properties of membranes. They affect the activity of membrane proteins and peptides. In addition, peptides which lyse membranes as well as those which promote membrane fusion facilitate the formation of non-lamellar phases, either micelles, cubic or hexagonal phases.
