Cell Membranes Sustain Phospholipid Imbalance Via Cholesterol Asymmetry

What's the big idea? Tweetorial below!

Pretty cool!! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Last year, we showed that membranes can be asymmetric in an unexpected way: more phospholipids on one side than the other, balanced by cholesterol

Here, Bogdanov et al show similar in EColi, with DAG doing cholesterol's flippy-buffer job

friends and scientists...

Really good review on novel methods for assessing membrane protein conformational landscapes and the lipid dependence thereof #lipidtime
