What is Phases and Phase Transitions of the Glycoglycerolipids about?

LIPIDAT is a computerized database providing access to the wealth of information scattered throughout the literature concerning synthetic and biologically derived polar lipid polymorphic and mesomorphic phase behavior. The database is considered comprehensive for glycerophospholipids, glycoglycerolipids, sphingolipids and natural membrane extracts. Here, a review of the LIPIDAT data subset referring to glycoglycerolipids is presented together with an analysis of these data. The glycoglycerolipids subset represents 4% of all L1PIDAT records. It includes data collected over a 20-year period and consists of 419 records obtained from 37 articles in 13 journals. An analysis of the data in the subset has allowed us to identify trends in hydrated glycoglycerolipids phase behavior reflecting differences in hydrocarbon chain length, chain branching, chain-glycerol linkage type (ether vs. ester), sugar headgroupglycerol linkage type (c~ vs./3) and sugar headgroup identity. Included is a summary of the data concerning the effect of pH and of stereochemical purity on glycoglycerolipid phase behavior. Information on the mesomorphism of biologically derived and dry glycoglycerolipids is also pre
