Effects of oleic acid and its congeners, elaidic and stearic acids, on the structural properties of phosphatidylethanolamine membranes
Fatty acid derivatives are abundant in biological membranes, mainly as components of phospholipids and cholesterol esters. Their presence, free or bound to phospholipids, modulates the lipid membrane behavior. The present study shows the differential influence of the C-18 fatty acids (FAs), oleic, e...
