Tight cohesion between glycolipid membranes results from balanced water–headgroup interactions

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: Alexander Schlaich from the Institute for Advanced Materials, University of Groningen, Nijenborgh, AG Groningen, The Netherlands, Laboratoire de Physiologie Cellulaire et have published the paper: Tight cohesion between glycolipid membranes results from balanced water–headgroup interactions, in the Journal: NATURE COMMUNICATIONS NATURE COMMUNICATIONS
  • what: In the following, the authors show that both mechanisms are essentially inoperative for glycolipids like DGDG. The latter conclusion is further corroborated by decomposing the interaction free_energy G into the enthalpic and entropic contributions, which the authors show in Supplementary Fig 6 and discuss in Supplementary Note 6. With that . . .
