Unveiling the molecular functions of lipid droplet proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana leaves

Lipids are biomolecules essential for the proper functioning of the living cell. They are found in the cell membranes and are also integral components of cell signaling pathways. Plant cells possess subcellular structures or organelles called lipid droplets (LDs) in the leaves and seeds, which store excess lipids (fats).

Micelles—the meeting place boosting reactions and interactions

The occurrence of chemical reactions between like-charged compounds in aqueous solutions is very slow since particles repel each other. A recent breakthrough published in Nature Communications shows a new way to control chemical reactions by charge neutralization and increase in effective concentrations of reactants. The joint research teams led by prof. Robert Hołyst from the Institute of Physical Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences, discovered that using compounds with a large surface charge density speed up the reactions up to 5-million fold.
