Synthetic lipid molecules

Manufactured by Merck Group

Synthetic lipid molecules are laboratory-created compounds that mimic the structural and functional properties of naturally occurring lipids. They are designed to serve as versatile tools in various research applications. The core function of these synthetic lipids is to provide a controlled and standardized platform for studying the behavior and interactions of lipid-based systems.

In the in vitro assays testing the dependence of the activities of various enzymes on specific lipids, the following synthetic lipid molecules (Merck) were added to the reaction mixture: 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycerol (DAG) (catalogue number 800815), N-octanoyl-d-erythro-sphingosine (CER) (catalogue number 860645), N-palmitoyl-d-erythro-sphinganine (dhCER) (catalogue number 860634), 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1′-rac-glycerol) (PG) (catalogue number 810218), and 1,3-dihexadecanoyl-2-(cis-9-octadecenoyl)glycerol (TAG) (catalogue number D2157). Lipids were solubilized in chloroform-methanol (2:1, vol/vol). Before use, the required amount of lipids in the solution was added to a Pyrex tube and dried under a stream of nitrogen. The dried lipids were resuspended in the appropriate buffer described above.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
