Membrane Lipid-Producing Archaeal Enzyme Is Promiscuous – Technology Networks
Cardolipins are a separate class of phospholipids present in the cell membranes of organisms from all domains of life. In studying the enzyme that is responsible…
Cells of all life forms are surrounded by a membrane that is made of phospholipids. One of these are the cardiolipins, which form a separate class due to their unique structure. When studying the enzyme that is responsible for producing cardiolipins in archaea (single-cell organisms that constitute a separate domain of life), biochemists at the University of Groningen made a surprising discovery. A single archaeal enzyme can produce a spectacular range of natural and non-natural cardiolipins, as…
