Effects of Ca on the Structure and Dynamics of PIP in Model Membranes Containing PC and PS.

Phosphatidylinositol phosphates (PIPs) are a family of seven different eukaryotic membrane lipids that have a large role in cell viability, despite their minor concentration in eukaryotic cellular membranes. PIPs tightly regulate cellular processes, such as cellular growth, metabolism, immunity, and development through direct interactions with partner proteins. Understanding the biophysical properties of PIPs in the complex membrane environment is important to understand how PIPs selectively regulate a partner protein.

Essential Oils from the Fruits and Leaves of Linn.: Chemical Composition, Biological Activity, and Molecular Docking Study.

This work focused on characterizing the chemical constituents and evaluating the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the essential oils obtained from the fruit and leaves of a flowering plant of the Anacardiaceae . Essential oils were extracted through steam distillation and characterized by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. For the fruit essential oil, 35 compounds were obtained, and 25 compounds were identified in the leaf essential oil.
