Protein Domain·Research

Also known as: photoswitchable diacylglycerophospholipids

Taxonomy: Mechanism Branch / Component. Workflows sit above the mechanism and technique branches rather than replacing them.

Summary

We explore photoswitchable diacylglycerophospholipids, termed 'photolipids', which permit precise, reversible modifications of membrane properties via light-induced isomerization.
