Synthetic archaeal lipid analogues represent materials with potential for thedevelopment of a new generation of stableliposomes and artificial membranes of biotechnological interest.

Abstract

This microreview focuses on the development of diether-type and tetraether-type archaeal lipids as innovative materials for biotechnological applications, with special attention to synthetic analogues as well as to recent natural lipid structures.
