phospholipid

The role of phospholipids in this process is only now beginning to be appreciated.

But often, if the lungs are truly immature, even the phospholipids will not help.

They are important for allowing interaction with the phospholipids at the plasma membrane.

In all organisms cell membranes are made of molecules known as phospholipids.

As phospholipids become stationary, they assume a particular orientation within the membrane.

Commercial lecithin, as used by food manufacturers, is a mixture of phospholipids in oil.

The doctors test for the phospholipids by withdrawing amniotic fluid.

Phospholipids are the main structural components of all cellular membranes.

A disadvantage to this technique is that it is limited to phospholipids.

Thus, neural membrane phospholipids are a reservoir for second messengers.

The concentration of phospholipids was also higher in the cholesterol gall stone patients but not to a significant degree.

Examples of complex molecules could be steroids or phospholipids.

The other half are lipids, namely phospholipids and cholesterol.

At cooler temperatures, phospholipids are found in a solid state with constricted motion.

The heads of phospholipids are and they consist of either:

They disrupt the structure of the bacterial cell membrane by interacting with its phospholipids.

Ca++ and phospholipids have little effect on it.

Cholesterol has the ability to eliminate the liquid to solid phase transition in phospholipids.

These specific properties allow phospholipids to play an important role in the phospholipid bilayer.

Biological membranes typically include several types of lipids other than phospholipids.

The phospholipids have a charged "head" which prevents two fat droplets from recombining.

These phospholipids form polymers when they are irradiated with ultraviolet light (Scheme 1).

These negatively charged phospholipids are recognized by phagocytes such as macrophages.

Anti-phospholipid antibodies are targeted toward the phospholipids of the cell membrane.

Phospholipids are also an essential component of nucleic acids.
