This was the first study to demonstrate that cells with common types of lipids regulate their lipid composition to maintain a proper balance between bilayer and nonbilayer lipids.

A striking observation is described that - the induction of nonbilayer lipid structures greatly facilitates spreading of lipids at the air-water interface.

Science 1996, 272:1136-1144. An outstanding achievement in membrane protein structure determination. This result is significant for lipid polymorphism because the non bilayer lipid, phosphatidylethanolamine, was shown to be an intrinsic component of this oxidase.

The striking observation was made that cubic phases of monoglycerides can cause 3D crystallization of the membrane protein bacteriorhodopsin. The crystals contain the functional protein and diffract well to allow for detailed structural analysis.
