Fundamentals:
- Bact
- Varying composition of double bonds and the length of fatty acid chains
- Cholesterol inserts to bilayers
- Differing shape disrupts the regular interctions between fatty acid chains
- Forms complexes with phospholipids (sphingolipids)
- More rigid structures
- Forms complexes with phospholipids (sphingolipids)
- Differing shape disrupts the regular interctions between fatty acid chains
- Membrane rafts - concentrate proteins that participate in signal transduction
Concepts:
- Cholesterol Structure - Cholesterol
