Membrane lipids: it's only a phase

Membrane lipids: it's only a phase
Membrane lipids: it's only a phase
All biological membranes contain lipids that prefer to adopt a non-bilayer phase. Recent results suggest that, in the thylakoid membrane, membrane proteins force all the lipids to adopt a bilayer structure, and that the non-bilayer-forming lipids in the thylakoid membrane serve to drive the formation of membrane stacks.

Abstract

All biological membranes contain lipids that prefer to adopt a non-bilayer phase. Recent results suggest that, in the thylakoid membrane, membrane proteins force all the lipids to adopt a bilayer structure, and that the non-bilayer-forming lipids in the thylakoid membrane serve to drive the formation of membrane stacks.
