At some point during the evolution of life on Earth, inorganic matter became organic, nonliving matter became living. How ...

Cells of all life forms are surrounded by a membrane that is made of phospholipids. One of these are the cardiolipins. When studying the enzyme that is responsible for producing cardiolipins in ...

Abstract. Nascent calcium phosphate promotes the agglutination and fusion of human erythrocyte ghosts. Membrane phospholipids of erythrocyte ghosts treated with Ca2+ and phosphate ions become exposed ...

The lipid bilayer contains a mixture of different lipid classes, including neutral lipids, phospholipids, and glycosphingolipids. The lipid composition of RBC membranes changes during their lifespan.

The membranes of biological cells are made up of double-layers of tadpole-shaped molecules named phospholipids whose 'tails' are closely aligned with those of their neighboring molecules, and ...
