Abstract

Lipids, a diverse class of biomolecules, play critical roles in biological systems, serving as structural components of cell membranes, energy storage molecules, and signaling intermediates. From the phospholipids that form the lipid bilayer of cell membranes to the cholesterol molecules that modulate membrane fluidity, lipid biochemistry encompasses a wide range of functions essential for life. In this article, we delve into the fascinating world of lipid biochemistry, exploring the structure, function, and significance of lipids in biology.
