Computer-based modeling of the conformation and packing properties of docosahexaenoic acid.
We used a molecular modeling approach to search for a conformation of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) that might uniquely influence acyl chain packing in cell membranes. Studies of DHA models containing six cis double bonds and five intervening methylene groups identified two conformations of special int...
