Nature Structural & Molecular Biology - Structure and lipid transport mechanism of a StAR-related domain Skip to main content Thank you for visiting nature.com.

Structural biology has made enormous contributions to a scientific understanding of protein structure and functions. In contrast, lipid molecules comprising biological membranes remains largely ...

In the presented study, the Lipid Data Analyzer detected more than 100 novel lipid species, which were previously unreported. The tool can be flexibly adapted - and not just for new classes of lipids.

For the detection of lipids indicative for diseases, healthy and sick organisms are typically compared quantitatively. This comparison requires reliable and detailed information about the structure ...

The lipids self-assemble into an intricate and complex 3D cubic structure, with water channels and lipid bridges running throughout the entire particle that can be used to package small molecule ...

In this month's issue of the Journal of Lipid Research, researchers report the structure of a key long-chain lipid in the tear film lipid layer, which prevents tears from drying out. Their finding ...

A new framework bridges a gap in understanding RNA therapeutics by linking the structure of lipid nanoparticles to immune response. It can help scientists and engineers expand the use of RNA ...

For the first time, scientists have observed a phosphorus-containing lipid molecule that assembles by itself to form cubes. Research carried out at facilities including DESY has shown that the ...

May 22, 2025: Scientists reveal surface structure of lipid nanoparticles that could improve vaccine and drug delivery Scientists have developed a method for analysing the structure of lipid ...

Scientists determine the structure of a lipid that keeps our tears clear. ScienceDaily. Retrieved May 31, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2018 / 08 / 180807103707.htm.

As anyone who has experienced an annoying alternation between dry and watery eyes can confirm, tears alone aren't enough to keep the eye from drying out. A microscopically thin film of oils known ...
