It is a triglyceride in which approximately 90 percent of fatty acid chains are ricinoleate.

This susceptibility is due to its content of unsaturated fatty acid chains.

Once the fatty acid chain reaches 16 or 18 carbons long after cycles of elongation, termination occurs.

The early cell membranes were probably more simple and permeable than modern ones, with only a single fatty acid chain per lipid.

The most common form is tetrasialotransferrin, with four sialic acid chains.

The first double bond is located at the third carbon from the methyl end of the fatty acid chain, known as the n end.

Fatty acid chains differ by length, often categorized as short to very long.

In this process, an amio acid chain is grown by a series of condensation reaction from a polymer bead surface.

This likely gives the enzyme flexibility to process fatty acid chains of various lengths.

This means the glycerol molecules and the fatty acid chains begin to break apart.
