(A) The plasma membrane of a cell is a bilayer of glycerophospholipid molecules. (B) A single glycerophospholipid molecule is composed of two major regions: a hydrophilic head (green) and ...

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 ...

“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 ...
