Title

Enantiomeric study on archaeal lipids

Abstract

Nature's selection of only right-handed sugars and left-handed amino acids upon which to build life is still not understood, nor are the consequences of these facts. In the present study, we would like to investigate the bending rigidity of archaeal lipids of the two types of chirality and their mixture to shed light on the question whether these structural characteristics might have effects on the membrane architecture of Archaea.
