Phospholipid Powder Supplier
Phospholipids have athree-part structurethat gives them their signature amphiphilic (both water-loving and water-fearing) character—this is the foundation of their biological role:
- 1. Hydrophilic "Head": A polar, water-soluble region composed of two parts:
- Aglycerol backbone(a 3-carbon alcohol molecule, the "anchor" of the structure).
- Aphosphate group(-PO₄³⁻) attached to one end of glycerol, which carries a negative charge. This phosphate group is often linked to an additional polar "head group" (e.g., choline, serine, ethanolamine) that adds chemical diversity (e.g., choline makes the head positively charged, creating a zwitterion: both + and - charges).
- 2. Hydrophobic "Tails": Two nonpolar, water-insoluble fatty acid chains (long hydrocarbon chains) attached to the other two carbons of the glycerol backbone. These tails vary in length (typically 14–24 carbon atoms) and saturation (presence of double bonds):
- Saturated tails: No double bonds (straight chains), which pack tightly together (increasing membrane rigidity).
- Unsaturated tails: One or more double bonds (create "kinks" in the chain), which prevent tight packing (increasing membrane fluidity).
