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 ...

Crenarchaeol is a large, closed-loop lipid that is present in the membranes of ammonium-oxidizing archaea. In comparison to other archaeal membrane lipids, crenarchaeol is very complex and, so far, ...

Interest in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) as delivery vehicles for precision therapies in genetic diseases and cancers remains at an all-time high. Now, scientists from the University of Pennsylvania, ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Lipid A represents the covalently bound lipid component of lipopolysaccharides (LPS), the endotoxins and O antigens of gram-negative bacteria.

Scientists who work with lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) say they have developed a new type of material capable of reaching the lungs and the eyes. They call their study “Thiophene-based lipids for mRNA ...

Blue is not a common color in plants, and metallic blue even less so. A team of scientists in Europe has now uncovered an unexpected source for the iridescent blue hue of one plant’s berries. The ...

Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are one of the most exciting technologies in drug delivery. LNPs protect and deliver genetic material into cells, allowing a large spectrum of RNA therapeutics, including ...
