General description

Monoglycerides/monoacylglycerols are polar lipids and amphiphilic in nature.
This new Lipid detergent may be used for crystallizing membrane proteins by using lipidic mesophases. This method has variously been referred to as the lipidic cubic phase or in meso method. The method has been shown to be quite versatile in that it has been used to solve X-ray crystallographic structures of prokaryotic and eukaryotic proteins, proteins that are monomeric, homo- and hetero-multimeric, chromophore-containing and chromophore-free, and alpha-helical and beta-barrel proteins.

Application

8.6 MAG may be used as a host lipid to form lipidic cubic phase (LCP) for serial femtosecond crystallography in lipidic cubic phase (LCP-SFX).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Monoglycerides are major component of baking mixtures. In fabrics, monoacylglycerols helps to enhance color fastness and contrast, and is useful in textile industry.
