Study of biological structure at the molecular level with stereomodel projections I. The lipids in the myelin sheath of nerve

摘要: Considerable uncertainty still exists regarding the detailed arrangement in protein-lipid molecular associations found serum lipoproteins, plasma-membranes of cell organelles, myelin sheath nerve, and many other structures paramount importance to biological mechanisms both health disease. Working hypotheses concerning such must eventually be tested by comparing known properties with those suggested exact stereomodels. In this type study, orthogonal projections molecules offer several advantages over tri-dimensional stereomodels from which they can derived a described photographic process. The rules governing configuration given models used for purpose are discussed, possible applications resulting diagrams illustrated numerous examples taken lipid field.
