Grazing incidence x-ray diffraction measurements were performed on single hydrated bilayers and monolayers of Ceramide/Cholesterol/1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocyholine at varying concentrations. There are substantial differences in the phase and structure behavior of the crystalline domains formed within the bilayers relative to the corresponding

The properties of lipid membranes at low temperature are important for a number of biomedical and biotechnological applications, and the success of these applications depends on understanding the effects of temperature changes on intermolecular lipid-lipid and lipid-water interactions. Here, we

Many cytoplasmic proteins contain a hydrophobic acyl chain, which facilitates protein binding to cell membranes. Hydrophobic interactions between the exposed acyl chain of the protein and hydrocarbon chains of lipids in the cell membrane are the driving force for this

The assignment of the vibrational spectrum of cholesterol is surprisingly incomplete for such a fundamental molecule. To improve our understanding, a new investigation of the spectra of cholesterol in the C-H stretching region has been undertaken using the surface specific

Adiponectin receptors (ADIPORs) are integral membrane proteins that control glucose and lipid metabolism by mediating, at least in part, a cellular ceramidase activity that catalyses the hydrolysis of ceramide to produce sphingosine and a free fatty acid (FFA). The crystal
