This lecture covers the genetic control of proteins and lipids, focusing on topics such as the identification of responsible genes, cholesterol biosynthesis, and the formation of lipid bilayers controlled by electrostatic interactions. It also discusses phosphoglycerides, phosphoglycerides' chemical structure, phosphoinositides, sphingolipids, and glycosphingolipids. The lecture emphasizes the influence of lipid shape on cellular compartments, membrane repair mechanisms, and the complexity of lipid compositions in cell membranes.
