Approaches to Visualising Endocytosis of LDL-Related Lipoproteins.

Endocytosis is the process by which molecules are actively transported into cells. It can take on a variety of forms depending on the cellular machinery involved ranging from specific receptor-mediated endocytosis to the less selective and actin-driven macropinocytosis. The plasma lipoproteins, which deliver lipids and other cargo to cells, have been intensely studied with respect to their endocytic uptake.

The crystal structure, thermal expansion and far-IR spectrum of propanal (CHCHCHO) determined using powder X-ray diffraction, neutron scattering, periodic DFT and synchrotron techniques.

The crystal structure of propanal has been determined using powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), where this common laboratory aldehyde is measured to crystallise in spacegroup 21/, = 4 with a unit cell = 8.9833(6) Å, = 4.2237(2) Å, = 9.
