...Anthony G. Lee; Kate A. Dalton; Richard C. Duggleby; J. Malcolm East; Anthony P. Starling Effects of lipid structure on the function of the Ca 2+ -ATPase of skeletal muscle of sarcoplasmic reticulum are reviewed. Binding of phospholipids to the ATPase shows little specificity. Phosphatidylcholines...

Pérez-Albarsanz Gamma- and delta-isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane caused marked decreases in the levels of radioactive phospholipids, and increases in the levels of [ 3 H]arachidonate incorporated into free fatty acids in rat renal...

... inhibited ethanolamine base-exchange, whereas the fusion with phosphatidylinositol inhibited both ethanolamine and serine base-exchange reactions. In contrast, these two phospholipids had scarce effects on choline base-exchange. Phosphatidic acid did not suppress any of the three base-exchange activities...

Whereas SOM...

...C. A. Pasternak; C. L. Bashford; G. Menestrina Electrical conductivity across phospholipid bilayers induced by various cytotoxic proteins has been used to analyse the damaging action of such proteins on cells; the protective effect of divalent cations and protons against such attack has also been...

...James J. Cheetham; Richard M. Epand Amantadine and tromantadine are agents used against influenza and herpes infections, respectively. Tromantadine raises the bilayer to hexagonal phase transition temperature of synthetic phosphatidylethanolamines and is less disruptive to phospholipid packing...

...Julie L. Hutson; Joan A. Higgins Rat liver microsomes incorporate [ 14 C]palmitoyl CoA into membrane phospholipids via the deacylation/acylation cycle. This activity is reversibly inactivated/activated by treatment of the microsomes with ATP, MgCl 2 , and 105,000 g supernatant or with 105,000 g...
