Chemical structure of lipid A as found in E. coli [1]. Lipid A is a lipid component of an endotoxin held responsible for the toxicity of gram-negative bacteria.It is the innermost of the three regions of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS), also called endotoxin molecule, and its hydrophobic nature allows it to anchor the LPS to the outer membrane.

LIPID MAPS was founded in 2003 with NIH funding. [14] LIPID MAPS was previously funded by a multi-institutional grant from Wellcome, and is now funded under an MRC Partnership award, held jointly by University of Cardiff led by Prof Valerie O'Donnell, the Babraham Institute, UCSD and Swansea University, and The University of Edinburgh.
The FSL construct is a peptide-based partially carboxymethylated oligoglycine (CMG2) spacer with 1,2- dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine lipid. Function-Spacer-Lipid (FSL) Kode constructs (Kode Technology) are amphiphatic , water dispersible biosurface engineering constructs that can be used to engineer the surface of cells , viruses and ...
Lipoic acid (LA), also known as α-lipoic acid, alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) and thioctic acid, is an organosulfur compound derived from caprylic acid (octanoic acid). [3] ALA, which is made in animals normally, is essential for aerobic metabolism .
Mammals lack the ability to introduce double bonds in fatty acids beyond carbon 9 and 10, hence the omega−6 linoleic acid (18:2n−6; LA) and the omega−3 alpha-linolenic acid (18:3n−3; ALA) are essential for humans in the diet. However, humans can convert both LA and ALA to fatty acids with longer carbon chains and a larger number of ...
Crotonic acid has 4 carbons, is included in croton oil, and is a trans-2-mono-unsaturated fatty acid.C 3 H 5 CO 2 H, IUPAC organization name (E)-but-2-enoic acid, trans-but-2-enoic acid, numerical representation 4:1, n-1, molecular weight 86.09, melting point 72–74 °C, boiling point 180–181 °C, specific gravity 1.027.
The Journal of Lipid Research is a monthly peer-reviewed open access scientific journal that was established in 1959. Since 2000, it has been published by the American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology . [ 1 ]
Lipid peroxidation, or lipid oxidation, is a complex chemical process that leads to oxidative degradation of lipids, [1] resulting in the formation of peroxide and hydroperoxide derivatives. [2] It occurs when free radicals , specifically reactive oxygen species (ROS), interact with lipids within cell membranes , typically polyunsaturated fatty ...
