The headgroup conformation of phospholipids in membranes (original) (raw)
1981, The Journal of Membrane Biology
AI-generated Abstract
This paper discusses the significant role of phospholipid headgroup conformation in the behavior and functions of biological membranes. It highlights how variations in headgroup structure affect membrane protein distribution and functionality, especially during phase transitions between gel and liquid crystalline states. Experimental investigations into headgroup conformations are summarized, underscoring the importance of understanding these structures for future research in membrane biochemistry.
