Phosphatidylethanolamines, Escherichia coli

Uses

E. coli PE may be used to study the physical states and thermodynamic properties extracted from E. coli.

General Description

L-α-phosphatidylethanolamine (E. coli) is the major phospholipid constituting around 70-80%, present in the inner membrane of E. coli. PE in E. coli tends to form non-bilayer structure.

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-α-phosphatidylethanolamine (E. coli) contributes to the cytoskeletal organization during cytokinesis. It also interacts with several membrane proteins such as lactose permease.
