• General molecular structure of the lipid category prenol lipids.

    Prenol Lipids

    What is the structure of Prenol Lipids? Prenol lipids are one of the eight lipid categories. They all feature a similar structure: they are based on one or multiple five-carbon isoprene units, the building blocks of prenol lipids. The isoprene chain can be linear, cyclic or branched and feature fatty acids, characteristic side-chains, functional groups, sugars, and double bonds – the flexibility of the prenol lipids structure gives rise…


  • General molecular structure of the lipid category fatty acyls.

    Fatty Acyls

    What is the structure of fatty acyls? Fatty acyls are one of the eight categories of lipids and contain tens of thousands of lipid species. All of these feature a similar molecular structure: they consist of a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxyl group. The carboxyl group can be linked to a diverse range of substituents, the hydrocarbon chain can be equally diverse, containing double bonds, featuring further substituents, be…
