Abstract

Fatty acids and their esters bind to proteins and lipids rather than being solvated molecules like most metabolites. Some selective lipid-protein interactions can override expected lipidlipid interactions of cell membrane “fluidity” in determining cell physiology. Recognition of the information carried in acyl chain structures was aided by Frank Gunstone (1923–2021) and his team of organic chemists who synthesized four extended
