Talk:Phospholipid
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I've updated the page a little with some extra general information about phospholipids, although it looks like someone may need to create an article on the Fluid-Mosaic Model used to describe phospholipid movement in cell membranes. I'll leave it to the experts, I think, since I'm not that great at lipid Biochemistry - Agaricus
I've just corrected the contradiciton in the paragraph on the ampiphiphatic character of phospholipides. Falk Lieder Aug 25 2005
- The main picture on this article is hideous, not to mention misleading. I think it needs a standard picture in addition to what is there already. The current picture shows why it is a polar molecule; this would be useful for describing why it forms membranes, but not for showing what the structure of the molecule is. So that picture might be moved into the body of the article. Fuzzform 02:26, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone else feel that the section title "Synthesis" should be changed to "Biosynthesis", to indicate that the section is about the natural biosynthesis in the cell, as opposed to a synthetic chemical strategy ? I couldn't tell if it was a description of what happens in the cell or what an organic chemist may do to make phospholipids at the bench. "Synthesis" vs. "Biosynthesis" could equally apply as an ambiguity in the articles of many biomolecules, I just noticed it here first. --Pansapiens 06:26, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
This article is badly in need of an expert in the field of biochemistry. Specifically the part that refers to the ethanoamide component.
I personally feel that this page is top notch. Being a professor of biochemistry, I would know this. I am clearly highly superior and you are my subordinates. Well done Wikipedia for making such an outstanding page on the changing trends within Dolce and Gabanna circa 1992... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.66.82.238 (talk) 14:11, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
WHY does it say in its simplest form it has a glycerol. That isn't what a phospholipid means, that is what a glycerophospholipid means?? Also the pic misleads others to think it has to have a glycerol.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Al-jeraiwy (talk • contribs) 23:47, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
