Fatty acyl-acyl carrier protein thioesterases, which orchestrate the hydrolysis of acyl-ACP thioester bonds, thereby yielding fatty acids of varying chain lengths, are instrumental in augmenting plant ...

image image Phosphoinositides have a characteristic acyl chain composition, but the functional relevance of specifying these acyl chains is unclear. Here, mass spectrometry and isotopologue tracing ...

Overview of Voltage-Dependent Anion Selective Channel 3: From Gene to Protein Structure In higher eukaryotes, the structure of VDAC genes is very similar.

Abstract The ability to probe the structure of a salt solution at the atomic scale is fundamentally important for our understanding of many chemical reactions and their mechanisms. The capability of ...

The asymmetric combination of saturated and polyunsaturated acyl chains in phospholipids as typically observed in synapses makes membranes prone to deformation and fission without compromising their ...

The essential function of ACP is not related to mitochondrial fatty acid and lipoic acid synthesis, but rather an evolutionarily-conserved role in iron sulfur cluster biogenesis.

Significance Acyltransferases (ATs) are responsible for the selection and incorporation of acyl building blocks in the biosynthesis of various polyketide natural products. Proper protein–protein ...

Development of a new acyl anion equivalent for the preparation of masked activated esters, and their use to prepare a dipeptide ...
