The core of the lipoprotein, containing cholesterol ester and TG, is nonpolar and hydrophobic, and the outer layer of the lipoprotein particle (containing free cholesterol, phospholipid ...

This diversity is a reflection of the importance of a unique property—the amphipathicity of lipids with their hydrophobic acyl ... Identical quantities of phospholipid and glycerolipid species ...

Moreover, during the first phase of pore formation, water molecules first rushed into the hydrophobic area of the phospholipid molecules and aligned with the direction of the electric field. The tilt ...

This anionic phospholipid, normally oriented within the cell membrane ... the vitamin K–dependent proteins undergo a major conformation change with the exposure of a hydrophobic patch in the T loop of ...

The second group includes hydrophobic interactions between drugs and nanocarriers (e.g., polymeric micelles from amphiphilic block copolymers). Polymeric nanocarriers in the third group include ...

An exploration of the unanswered questions in how the molecular chaperone Hsp90 supports protein homeostasis, and how single-molecule techniques could drive future breakthroughs in answering them.

Right: The new material features a large water contact angle and is thus nearly completely hydrophobic. Credit: KIT The team attributes these results to the brush-like arrangement (polymer brushes) of ...

However, consuming animal-based foods that are characterized by a high phospholipid and sphingolipid content were previously thought to contribute to the development of cardiometabolic diseases. There ...

Previously, we reported that α-syn clusters synaptic vesicles (SV) 1, and neutral phospholipid lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) can mediate this clustering 2. Here, based on our previous findings, we ...

Lung cancer, as a serious threat to human health and life, necessitating urgent treatment and intervention. In this study, we prepared hyaluronic acid (HA)-targeted topotecan liposomes for ...
