Lipids

The chemistry and biochemistry of lipids.


Lipids are a group of structural different molecules which are unsoluble in water (hydrophobic) and soluble in fat (lipophilic) and which occure in living cells as structural components of cell membranes, as energy storage or as signaling molecules.

Book recommendation

Michael I. Gurr et al.

Lipids: Biochemistry, Biotechnology and Health

For the Sixth Edition of this highly regarded textbook devoted to lipids, the title has been modified from Lipid Biochemistry to Lipids to acknowledge the coming together of biological and medical sciences, the increasingly blurred boundaries between them and the growing importance of lipids in diverse aspects of science and technology. The principal aims of this new edition - to inform students and researchers about lipids, to assist teachers and encourage further research - have not changed since previous editions.
