Current studies related to lipid identification and determination, or lipidomics in biological
samples, are one of the most important issues in modern bioanalytical chemistry. There are …

Sphingomyelin is an important constituent of mammalian cell membranes. Its molecular
structure is N-acyl-d-erythro-sphingosylphosphorylcholine. The N-acyls in sphingomyelin …

The C36 CHARMM lipid force field has been extended to include sphingolipids, via a
combination of high-level quantum mechanical calculations on small molecule fragments …

► Lipid bicelles have matured to full membership in the club of lipid phases.► Numerous
techniques have elucidated the character traits of bicelles.► Bicelles are exemplary citizens …

As a model of lipid rafts, the liquid-ordered (Lo) phase formed by sphingomyelin (SM) and
cholesterol (Cho) in bilayer membranes has long attracted the attention of biophysics …

How the distinctive lipid composition of mammalian plasma membranes impacts membrane
protein structure is largely unexplored, partly because of the dearth of isotropic model …

As a result of their unique physical properties, biological membrane mimetics, such as
liposomes, are used in a broad range of scientific and technological applications …

A variety of biomolecules acting on the cell membrane folds into a biologically active
structure in the membrane environment. It is, therefore, important to determine the structures …

Lipid rafts have attracted much attention because of their significant functional roles in
membrane-associated processes. It is thought that sphingomyelin and cholesterol are …

Lipid rafts are microdomains rich in sphingomyelin (SM) and cholesterol (Chol). The
essential question is why natural lipid rafts prefer SM rather than saturated diacyl …
