Fluorescent and Photocaged Lipids to Probe the Ceramide-mediated Reorganization of Biological Membranes
This thesis describes the development of novel fluorescent and photocaged lipids, and their application as tools to probe the morphological effects of ceramide (Cer)-mediated membrane reorganization in supported lipid bilayers. Cer is a sphingolipid found in eukaryotic cells that plays a key role in...
