Other classes of sphingolipids are introduced through the addition of various head groups to ceramide. Sphingomyelins result from the addition of phosphocholine to ceramide (Huitema et al., 2004). The ...

The second column depicts snapshots of the same dimer interface helices with overlayed positions of water (light blue spheres) and lipid head groups (red and blue spheres) every 100 frames of the last ...

Biological lipids are generated from ketoacyl and isoprene (CH2=C(CH3)CH=CH2) groups and include glycerolipids, sphingolipids, fatty acids and polyketides. Lipids play roles in energy storage ...

Our research group has two primary focuses. One part of the lab focuses on determining the mechanisms of intracellular ion and metabolite transport, while the second studies protein nucleic acid ...

A new study found that older adults with fluctuating cholesterol levels—regardless of how high—could be 60% more likely to ...

"Lipid imbalance may lead to amyloid plaque ... enabling researchers to tailor the probes with different head groups and linkers to meet specific experimental requirements. Findings show that ...
