• fatty acids
  25 October 2004

  Fatty acids provide highly efficient energy storage, storing much more energy for their weight than carbohydrates like glucose.
  Fatty acids are stored as triglycerides in adipose tissue, in which each triglyceride molecule contains three fatty acids and one glycerol. Triglycerides form fatty droplets that exclude water and take up minimal space.
  Fatty acids are also more highly reduced than carbohydrates, so they provide more energy during oxidation. The efficiency of energy storage in (...)

• lamins
  13 July 2003

  Lamins constitute a family of polypeptides composing the proteinaceous layer apposed to the inner nuclear membrane. In mammals, 3 lamins, A (LMNA), B (LMNB), and C (encoded by LMNA), have been described, with molecular weights ranging from 60,000 to 78,000. Lamins A and C but not lamin B have close sequence homology. Lamins can be classified with the intermediate filament (IF) polypeptides.

  Definition: A glucan molecule is a polysaccharide of D-glucose monomers linked by glycosidic bonds. Many beta-glucans are medically important.
  Types
  The α- and β- and numbers clarify the type of O-glycosidic bond.
