Archaea are characterized by their unique membrane lipids, which contain isoprene units that are linked to the glycerol backbone by ether bonds (archaeol; C 20) in a bilayer and glycerol dialkyl ...

Exterkate wanted to know which enzymes are responsible for cardiolipin production in archaea. 'The lipids that form the cell membrane of archaea are structurally different from those in the other ...

Crenarchaeol is a large, closed-loop lipid that is present in the membranes of ammonium-oxidizing archaea. In comparison to other archaeal membrane lipids, crenarchaeol is very complex and ...

Since cardiolipins are present in cell membranes of organisms from all domains of life, they are desired components of the synthetic cell. Exterkate wanted to know which enzymes are responsible for ...

the lipids in the membrane of bacteria are made up of straight-chain fatty acids that are ester-linked to a backbone of glycerol-3-phosphate. But the lipids in the archaeal membrane have a ...

Exterkate wanted to know which enzymes are responsible for cardiolipin production in archaea. The lipids that form the cell membrane of archaea are structurally different from those in the other ...

Then, as bacterial vesicles fused with this archaeal outer membrane, the bacterial lipids would slowly replace the archaeal ones. In the inside-out model, the membranes of the nucleus and ...

Welander became interested in studying this microbe because of its rare chemistry, including its unusual lipid membranes. Unlike plants and fungi, archaeal organisms do not produce protective ...

Then, as bacterial vesicles fused with this archaeal outer membrane, the bacterial lipids would slowly replace the archaeal ones. In the inside-out model, the membranes of the nucleus and ...

Our tree of life includes small and simple cells (Bacteria and Archaea) and more complex cells (Eukaryotes), including animals and humans. Bacteria and Eukaryotes share a similar lipid membrane.
