A review on phospholipids and their main applications in drug delivery systems
Phospholipids have the characteristics of excellent biocompatibility and a especial amphiphilicity. These unique properties make phospholipids most appropriate to be employed as important pharmaceutical excipients and they have a very wide range of ...

Research Advances in Regulatory Effect of Phospholipids on Meat Quality [PDF]
Phospholipids, a class of polar lipids with complex structure and multiple functions, are composed of glycerophospholipids and sphingomyelins. As an important component of cell membranes, phospholipids are involved in many physiological activities, such ...

Effect of dipolar-angle on phospholipid assembly [PDF]
We report the effect of lipid head-group dipole orientation on phase behaviour of phospholipid assembly. The work explains molecular-scale mechanism of ion-lipid, anesthetic-lipid interactions where reorientation of dipoles play important role in membrane potential modification. Molecular Dynamics simulations are performed to analyse structure-property

Ice Formation in Model Biological Membranes in the Presence of Cryoprotectors [PDF]
Ice formation in model biological membranes is studied by SAXS and WAXS in the presence of cryoprotectors: dimethyl sulfoxide and glycerol. Three types of phospholipid membranes: DPPC, DMPC, DSPC are chosen for the investigation as well-studied model biological membranes. A special cryostat is used for sample cooling from 14.1C to -55.4C.

A mesoscale model for quantitative phospholipid monolayer simulations at the air-water interface [PDF]
A mesoscale model with molecular resolutions is presented for the dipalmitoyl-phosphatidylcholine (DPPC) and 1-palmitoyl-2-oleyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (POPC) monolayer simulations at the air-water interface using many-body dissipative particle dynamics (MDPD).

General model of phospholipid bilayers in fluid phase within the single chain mean field theory [PDF]
Coarse-grained model for saturated (DCPC, DLPC, DMPC, DPPC, DSPC) and unsaturated (POPC, DOPC) phospholipids is introduced within the Single Chain Mean Field theory. A single set of parameters adjusted for DMPC bilayers gives an adequate description of equilibrium and mechanical properties of a range of saturated lipid molecules that differ only in ...
