Lipids: Structure, Function, and Synthesis

Description

This lecture covers the structure, function, and synthesis of lipids, including storage lipids, structural lipids, and bioactive lipids. It explains the composition of fatty acids, triacylglycerols, glycerophospholipids, ether lipids, sphingolipids, and sterols. The process of fatty acid synthesis is detailed, from the loading of acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA to the elongation and desaturation steps. The lecture also discusses the role of enzymes like fatty acid synthase and fatty acyl-CoA desaturase in lipid metabolism.
