Peripheral membrane proteins, for example some signalling proteins, are tethered by an anchor, via a fatty acid, prenyl group, glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI) or a hydrophobic protein patch.

The phospholipid bilayer nanodiscs (LNDs), as a rapidly-developing tool ... functions of membrane proteins as well as a versatile delivery vehicle for a variety of hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs.

The next step is the hydrophobic interactions between the amphipathic domains ... The primary structure of any membrane is the lipid bilayer. Several model systems have been developed to mimic the ...

This important study characterizes the mechanics and stability of bolalipids from archaeal membranes using molecular dynamics simulations. A mesoscale model of bolalipids is presented and evaluated ...

The researchers found that during the evolutionary process, these short tails developed hydrophobic properties, meaning that they repel water and are strongly attracted to fatty lipids.
