Thermodynamic, thermomechanical, and structural properties of a hydrated asymmetric phosphatidylcholine.
1-Behenyl-2-lauryl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (22/12 PC) belongs to a unique group of phospholipids in which the molecule has one acyl chain almost twice as long as the other. The temperature-composition phase diagram for this lipid in the range of 25-65 degrees C, and 0 to 84.3% (w/w) water has been constructed by using the isoplethal method in the heating direction and x-ray diffraction for ...
متن کاملStructural analysis of phosphatidylcholine
Pure preparations of phosphatidylcholine were isolated from spinach leaf chloroplasts, spinach leaf microsomes, and cauliflower inflorescence. The isolated phosphatidylcholine was treated with snake venom phospholipase A, and the fatty acid distribution and composition of the fatty acid methyl esters prepared from the lysophosphatidylcholine and the freed fatty acid were determined by gas-liqui...
متن کاملThe elusive flippases
What do they do? In water, phospholipids like phosphatidylcholine spontaneously form closed bilayers with the polar head group exposed to water and the hydrocarbon chains forming the hydrophobic membrane interior. Although phospholipids display a fast lateral diffusion, their ‘flip-flop’ movement between the two membrane halves is very slow, with half times up to several days. Yet phospholipids...
متن کاملStructural properties of fuzzy graphs
Matroids are important combinatorial structures and connect close-lywith graphs. Matroids and graphs were all generalized to fuzzysetting respectively. This paper tries to study connections betweenfuzzy matroids and fuzzy graphs. For a given fuzzy graph, we firstinduce a sequence of matroids from a sequence of crisp graph, i.e.,cuts of the fuzzy graph. A fuzzy matroid, named graph fuzzy matro...
