Thus, the hydrophilic heads of the glycerophospholipids in a cell's plasma membrane face both the water-based cytoplasm and the exterior of the cell. Altogether, lipids account for about half the ...

Researchers at Nagoya University developed a phosphonic acid polymer with hydrophobic spacers for fuel cell electrolytes, ...

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are widely found in the proteomes of eukaryotes and play key roles in life processes such as transcription of genetic information and signaling. Apart from ...

While AMPs are also hydrophobic, they are often amphipathic, with both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions that allow them to target cell membranes and cause them to rupture similarly to how ...
