meaning that an acyl group is added to the sugar moieties of anthocyanin. A great amount of acylated anthocyanins can be found in purple potatoes, purple sweet potatoes, radishes, purple carrots ...

Rational engineering of algal lipid metabolism such as TAG accumulation and composition ... Green arrows, transfer of an acyl group from PC onto TAG via the acyltransferase PDAT. CPT, ...

Mean total numbers of double bonds in the monitored lipid classes in the WCLs and LAMP1+ fractions from cells untreated or treated with LLOMe for 10 or 45 min. The double bonds are in the acyl (alkyl) ...

The results show that there is a strong tendency of both quinone and quinol molecules to localize in the vicinity of the lipids' acyl groups, right under the lipid head group region. Additionally, we ...

Partial charges are derived for all lipid head groups. Hydrocarbon chain parameters are updated ... However, area per lipid for both DSPG and DSPC are slightly low, suggesting that long acyl chains ...

Together with the accompanying functional data, the structure shows how a bivalent recognition of palmitoyl CoA by the DHHC enzyme, simultaneously at both the fatty acyl group and the CoA ... are ...

The N-acyl amino acids are a family of bioactive lipids with pleiotropic physiologic functions ... First, we measured liver N-acyl amino acid hydrolysis activity from each of the three groups of mice.
