Thermal behavior of liposomes containing PCs with long and very long chain PUFAs isolated from retinal rod outer segment membranes

Thermal behavior of liposomes containing PCs with long and very long chain PUFAs isolated from retinal rod outer segment membranes

About one-fourth the phosphatidylcholines (PC) from retina photoreceptor rod outer segment (ROS) membranes contain docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3) at sn-2 and a very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (VLCPUFA) (C24 to C36) at the sn-1 position of the glycerol backbone. In order to study the therm...
