General description
4ME 16:0 PE (1,2-diphytanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine) is a conical and neutral lipid. It is a fatty acid modified lipid. It is a phytanoyl lipid.
Application
4ME 16:0 PE (1,2-diphytanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine) may be used:
- in the preparation of planar lipid bilayers
- in the preparation of giant unilamellar vesicles (GUVs) for electrophysiology studies
- to form virtually solvent-free planar lipid membranes
Biochem/physiol Actions
Diphytanoyl lipids is usually preferred as model membranes in electrophysiological experiments. Diphytanoyl phosphocholine (DPhPC) is capable of preparing oxidation-resistant, stable lipid bilayers for in vitro experiments.

Diphytanoylphosphatidyl choline (DPhPC) is a synthetic ester lipid with methylated tails found in archaeal ether lipids. Because of the stability of DPhPC bilayers and the absence of phase transitions over a broad range of temperatures, the lipid is used as

Using rational membrane protein design, we were recently able to obtain a β-barrel protein nanopore that was robust under an unusually broad range of experimental circumstances. This protein nanopore was based upon the native scaffold of the bacterial ferric hydroxamate
