Abstract
- A cyclic glycerophospholipid, in which two glycerols are connected via alkyl chains to form a 64-membered macrocycle, was synthesized. The structural features that differentiate this from our analogous lipids previously reported are two methylene moieties in the alkyl chains, which were incorporated to improve membrane fluidity. Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching revealed that the membranes made from the methylene-containing cyclic lipid demonstrated fluidity at room temperature unlike those of a linear alkyl-chain lipid of equal ring size.
