Membrane Fluidity and Temperature Perception [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1997 Plants are incapable of escaping from a changing environment. Therefore, they have developed sophisticated mechanisms for acclimation and survival under unfavorable conditions, such as unfavorable temperatures. Low temperatures induce a number of alterations in cellular components, including the extent of fatty acid unsaturation (Cossins, 1994), the ...

NMR studies of membrane structure and dynamics [PDF]
, 1978 Over the past decade, there has been considerable interest in the motional state of the phospholipid bilayer membrane. The motivation underlying these efforts has been the contention that the phospholipid bilayer is the basic matrix in which membrane ...

Decreased erythrocyte membrane fluidity and altered lipid composition in human liver disease.
Journal of Lipid Research, 1982 Abnormal plasma lipoproteins in patients with liver disease are associated with characteristic changes in erythrocyte membrane lipid composition. The membranes are enriched in cholesterol and phosphatidylcholine and both the cholesterol/phospholipid and ...
