- Title
Cell membranes: Glycans' imprints.
- Authors
Groves, Jay T.
- Abstract
The article offers information regarding the network of glycans on cell membranes. It mentions that membranes on inhomogeneous glycan networks show macroscopic lipid domains that are stable at room temperature and mentions that liquid and solid phases of the multiphase membranes exhibit greater affinity for the glycan-rich regions of the substrate. According to researchers, the homogeneous glycan networks are able to suppress macroscopic phase separation in the supported membranes.
