Medium chain triacylglycerols (MCTs) have gained wide attention due to its ability to induce the residual glyceride lipolysis and improve fat absorption. In this study, structured lipid enriched with MCTs was synthesized by chemical catalyzed acidolysis of coconut oil with the mixture of caprylic acid (Cy) and capric acid (Ca) in a solvent-free system. Three catalysts were compared for their efficiency in the production of MCTs yield. The results indicated that the highest yield of MCTs was achieved by HSO. Effects of reaction variables on the acidolysis reaction were optimized using response surface methodology, and the optimum conditions were as follows: molar ratio of Cy to Ca 1:1, reaction time 4 h, molar ratio of MCFAs to coconut oil 12:1, catalyst loading 12 wt%, reaction temperature 110℃. Under these conditions, the obtained structured lipid contained 89.5% of MCFAs and at least 82.0% of MCTs. This paper provides a simple and low-cost method for preparing structured lipid enriched with MCTs.

A lever hypothesis for Synaptotagmin-1 action in neurotransmitter release.

Neurotransmitter release is triggered in microseconds by Ca-binding to the Synaptotagmin-1 C-domains and by SNARE complexes that form four-helix bundles between synaptic vesicles and plasma membranes, but the coupling mechanism between Ca-sensing and membrane fusion is unknown. Release requires extension of SNARE helices into juxtamembrane linkers that precede transmembrane regions (linker zippering) and binding of the Synaptotagmin-1 CB domain to SNARE complexes through a "primary interface" comprising two regions (I and II). The Synaptotagmin-1 Ca-binding loops were believed to accelerate membrane fusion by inducing membrane curvature, perturbing lipid bilayers, or helping bridge the membranes, but SNARE complex binding through the primary interface orients the Ca-binding loops away from the fusion site, hindering these putative activities.

Artificial anion transporters offer a potential way to treat deficiencies in cellular anion transport of genetic origins. In contrast to the large variety of mobile anion carriers and self-assembled anion channels reported, unimolecular anion channels are less investigated. Herein, we present a unique example of a unimolecular anion channel based on a bambusuril (BU) macrocycle, a well-established anion receptor.

The ion binding to the lipid/water interface can substantially influence the structural, functional, and dynamic properties of the cell membrane. Despite extensive research on ion-lipid interactions, the specific effects of ion binding on the polarity and hydration at the lipid/water interface remain poorly understood. This study explores the influence of three biologically relevant divalent cations─Mg, Ca, and Zn─on the depth-dependent interfacial polarity and hydration of zwitterionic DPPC lipid in its gel phase at room temperature.

Lipid droplets (LDs) are the major sites of lipid and energy homeostasis. However, few LD biogenesis proteins have been identified. Using model microalga , we show that ABHD1, an α/β-hydrolase domain-containing protein, is localized to the LD surface and stimulates LD formation through two actions: one enzymatic and one structural.

Molybdate, an oxidized form of molybdenum, facilitates molybdenum to be taken into cell, and thus to be included as a cofactor in the structure of enzymes necessary to ensure homeostasis. Although this compound provides the catalysis and electron transport of many biochemical reactions, it causes serious health problems in animals at high concentrations. For this reason, its recovery of water resources is one of the main subjects of scientific studies called bioremediaiton.
