Summary
This chapter contains sections titled:
Introduction
Results
Illustrative Examples of Selected Bound Lipids, Detergents and Related Molecules
Integral Membrane Protein Structures Contain Ordered Native Lipids
Structures of Lipids in Membrane Protein Co-crystals Differ from Those in Pure Lipid Crystals
Native Lipids can Stabilize and Preserve Protein–Protein Interfaces
Multiple Acyl Chain Conformations Exist for Efficient Packing with Protein Interfaces
Lipid Acyl Chains Interact Primarily with Aliphatic and Aromatic Amino Acid Side-chains
Unusual Lipid/Detergent Conformations Occur at the Protein–Lipid Interface
A Bilayer Structure is Present in Crystals Grown from the LCP
