most membrane phospholipids are glycerolipids that contain two fatty acid chains. These phospholipid acyl chains determine the viscosity of the membrane, which in turn influences many crucial ...

We used gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) to assess major metabolic perturbations in organic acid levels in urine from children with autism versus non-autistic subjects. Considering the ...

Their endogenous levels are regulated by an extracellular mammalian N-acyl amino acid synthase/hydrolase called PM20D1 (peptidase M20 domain containing 1). Using an activity-guided biochemical ...

This strategy maximizes the usage of energy sources. Eleven mitochondrial genes have convergent/parallel amino acid changes between branches of deep-sea fishes. Thus, these amino acid sites may be ...

Mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis (FASII) and iron sulfur cluster (FeS) biogenesis are both vital biosynthetic processes within mitochondria. In this study, we demonstrate that the mitochondrial acyl ...

Andrew Brookes/ Getty Images The acid-test ratio (ATR), also commonly known as the quick ratio, measures the liquidity of a company by calculating how well current assets can cover current ...

ACS indicates acyl-CoA synthetase; ATGL, adipose triglyceride lipase gene; FATP1, fatty acid transport protein 1; DAGT, diacylglycerol acyl transferase; LpL, lipoprotein lipase. Because of the ...
