Lipid polymorphism and the functional roles of lipids in biological membranes.

TL;DR: The possible functional roles of lipids are reviewed in terms of previous models such as the fluid mosaic model of Singer and Nicolson or the earlier unit membrane model so that the requirement for an alternative approach becomes apparent.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lipid conformation in model membranes and biological membranes.

TL;DR: Protein molecules in solution or in protein crystals are characterized by rather well-defined structures in which α-helical regions, β-pleated sheets, etc., are the key features, and the double helix of nucleic acids has almost become the trademark of molecular biology as such.

Triton Promotes Domain Formation in Lipid Raft Mixtures

TL;DR: Whether and how Triton changes the domain properties of a homogeneous fluid membrane is clarified to clarify whether and how it is assumed that the application of the detergent Tritons allows the isolation of these rafts as a detergent-resistant membrane fraction.

Nature of the Thermal pretransition of synthetic phospholipids: dimyristolyl- and dipalmitoyllecithin.

TL;DR: The hydrated synthetic lecithins, dimyristoyl and dipalmitoyllecithin, undergo two thermal transitions, a broad low enthalpy "pretransition" prior to the sharp first-order "chain-melting" transition and a structural transformation from a one-dimensional lamellar to a two-dimensional monoclinic lattice consisting of lipid lamellae distorted by a periodic ripple.

Structural analysis of hydrated egg lecithin and cholesterol bilayers I. X-ray diffraction

TL;DR: Lamellar X-ray diffraction from hydrated multilayers of a 3:2 molar mixture of egg lecithin and cholesterol has been analysed and molecular models of the bilayer are presented.
