Product Information

• Name: 1,2-Di-o-phytanyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,2-Di-o-phytanyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine is a synthetic molecule that has been shown to mimic the function of lipids. 1,2-Di-o-phytanyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine is an amphiphilic compound with a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail. It has been shown to form stable bilayers in water, which may be due to its ability to form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. It is also able to form self assembled monolayers at the air/water interface. This dispersive molecule has been shown in microscopy experiments to reduce the thickness of lipid bilayers by up to 50% and increase their permeability by up to ten times.1,2 Di o phytanyl sn glycero 3 phosphate ethanolamine has also been used as a biosensor for ionic liquids due its ability to bind
