The alpha helix is a common secondary structure in proteins, where a polypeptide chain forms a helical structure stabilized by hydrogen bonds between its amino […]
Glycolipids are molecules composed of a lipid and a carbohydrate portion. Found in cell membranes, they contribute to structural integrity and cell signaling. Their diverse […]
Fatty acids are essential building blocks of fats and oils, crucial for energy production and cell structure. They consist of hydrocarbon chains with a carboxyl […]
Fatty acid synthesis is a cellular process occurring in the cytoplasm where acetyl-CoA molecules are enzymatically linked to form fatty acids. This anabolic pathway is […]
Beta-oxidation is the metabolic process in mitochondria where fatty acids are sequentially broken down into acetyl-CoA through four enzymatic steps. This produces energy and is […]
Unsaturated fatty acids have double bonds in their carbon chain, creating kinks in their structure. These include monounsaturated (one double bond) and polyunsaturated (multiple double […]
Saturated fatty acids are a type of fat where carbon atoms are fully saturated with hydrogen. Found in animal products and some plant oils, high […]
PUFA stands for polyunsaturated fatty acids. These are essential fats, including omega-3 and omega-6, crucial for various bodily functions. Found in foods like fish, seeds, […]
