1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1'-rac-glycerol)

1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1'-rac-glycerol)

DMPG, or 1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-(1'-rac-glycerol), is a distinctive semi-synthetic lipid derived from myristic acid. Its specific molecular structure, including the rac-glycerol moiety, imparts unique characteristics that render it a valuable asset in membrane research, offering insights into lipid-protein interactions and membrane dynamics.

  • Myristic Acid Derivation: Synthesized from myristic acid, a saturated fatty acid, DMPG carries specific structural attributes inherent to saturated acyl chains.

  • Rac-Glycerol Moiety: DMPG is characterized by the presence of a racemic glycerol backbone, adding complexity to its structure compared to conventional glycerophospholipids.

  • Saturated Acyl Chains: The incorporation of saturated acyl chains contributes to DMPG's rigidity and stability, influencing its behavior in lipid bilayers.

Applications in Membrane Protein Research:

  • Unique Glycerol Backbone Influence: The racemic glycerol moiety in DMPG introduces an additional level of structural diversity, influencing the interactions of membrane proteins with the lipid environment.

  • Investigation of Lipid-Protein Interactions: DMPG is employed to study lipid-protein interactions, offering researchers a platform to explore how the unique structural features of DMPG impact the behavior and conformation of membrane proteins.

  • Membrane Dynamics Studies: The saturated acyl chains in DMPG contribute to the stability of lipid bilayers, making it valuable in studies focused on membrane dynamics and phase behavior.
