Using cutting-edge electron microscopy, researchers from Aarhus University have determined the first structures of a lipid-flippase. The discoveries provide a better understanding of the basics of how ...

Lipid-binding sites and properties were compared in the hetero-oligomeric cytochrome (cyt) b₆f and the yeast bc₁ complexes that function, respectively, in photosynthetic and respiratory electron ...

Researchers report the structure of a key long-chain lipid in the tear film lipid layer, which prevents tears from drying out. Their finding may be used to improve treatments for dry eye. As anyone ...

“We’ve never had such an in-depth map of the CD1 lipidome available,” said Patricia Barral, an immunologist at King’s College London who was not involved with the work. “It will enable us to start ...

Oregon Health & Science University, in collaboration with Oregon State University, has discovered the structural organization and protein components of a lipid-transfer complex known as LPD-3.
