Diacylglycerols are minor constituents of membrane lipids, yet are essential in the activation and membrane association of protein kinase C. Solid-state 13C NMR experiments have been used to characterize the orientation of the glycerol backbone of dipalmitoylglycerol (DPG) and dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine

The characterization of immunological cascades of the innate immune system activated by invariant molecular structures termed as pathogen-associated molecular patterns recognized by pattern recognition receptors of macrophages and dendritic cells, have allowed the elucidation of the mechanisms underlying the immunomodulatory
The structures of fully hydrated 1:1 and 1:2 (mol/mol) dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC)-dipalmitoylglycerol (DPG) mixtures were studied by means of small-angle x-ray diffraction. The x-ray diffraction pattern of the 1:1 (mol/mol) DPPC-DPG mixture at 65 degrees C contains three reflections with spacings

An important application of liquid cell Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is the study of enzyme structure and behaviour in organized molecular media that mimic in-vivo systems. In this study we demonstrate the use of AFM as a tool to study
The phases and transition sequences for aqueous dispersions of mixtures of 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC) and 1,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycerol (1,2-DPG) have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic x-ray diffraction, freeze-fracture electron microscopy, 31P-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy. The results have
