Essential structural component of living cells (along with proteins and carbohydrates)

Usage examples of lipid.

In particular, those vesicles that have developed the ability to synthesize simple proteins that stabilize their delicate lipid bilayer membranes will be more likely to survive than those that have not.

With each succeeding edition of his books, Montignac put more stress on the difference between bad lipids and good lipids, between saturated, polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated fats, not for losing more weight but for keeping your heart healthy.

Effectiveness of a low-fat vegetarian diet in altering serum lipids in healthy premenopausal women: Antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of unripe papaya.

The first is a series of autocatalytic chemical reactions concentrated within tiny vesicles whose skins are self-organizing lipid bilayers.

With each succeeding edition of his books, Montignac put more stress on the difference between bad lipids and good lipids, between saturated, polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated fats, not for losing more weight but for keeping your heart healthy.

They are mostly differences in their lipids and an absence of something called peptidoglycan.

They utilize such energy in a way similar to that of green plant photosynthesis, transforming carbon dioxide into carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins which are then used as food by a surrounding community of other animals.

Blood, tissues, teeth, and organs began to congeal in place as the nano-assemblers pumped synthetic enzymes, DNA, ribosomes, and other cellular machinery into the lipid vesicles that were due to become living cells.

Pesticides in general have a fondness for the lipids (fats) and thus tend to wind up in the adipose tissue, or body fat.

The tricky part was to keep the molecule lipid soluble, so it would cross the blood-brain barrier.

But it will rupture a lot of cell membranes, leaving behind all those membranes as a lipid crud.

The fatty acid composition of viral lipids and host cell membranes would perhaps be similar, meaning I could tell in what species of host any particular virion was replicated.

He claimed that, while they were essentially similar to earthly bacteria in structure, being based upon proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, they had no cell nucleus and therefore their manner of propagation was a mystery.

These encodes are permeated with drug beads, whose lipid membranes are kept aligned by a low-power magnetic field the Cetagandans were generating in the dome.

Then the glycan chunks are hauled out to the cell wall by a chemical scaffolding of lipid carrier molecules, and they are fitted in place.
