"This work challenges a major assumption of cell biology by showing that the plasma membrane, the flexible bilayer that surrounds the cell, can have drastically different phospholipid abundances ...

We are taught that plasma membranes are a typical lipid bilayer, but how do we know this ... Molecular Cell Biology 4: 414–418 (2003). Gortner, E. & Grendel, F. On bimolecular layers of lipoids ...

Phospholipid-binding domains vary widely in their degree of ligand specificity. Some are highly target specific, whereas others will bind to any acidic phospholipid. Target-specific domains ...
