Interactions of Truncated Menaquinones in Lipid Monolayers and Bilayers

Interactions of Truncated Menaquinones in Lipid Monolayers and Bilayers

Menaquinones (MK) are hydrophobic molecules that consist of a naphthoquinone headgroup and a repeating isoprenyl side chain and are cofactors used in bacterial electron transport systems to generate cellular energy. We have previously demonstrated that the folded conformation of truncated MK homolog...
