Аннотация:A number of structural features are considered for the most abundant hydrocarbon (fatty acid)chains of phospholipid molecules that form the basis of biological membranes. It is shown that, all other conditions being equal, the composition of saturated chains is governed by the correspondence of noncrystallographic symmetries of these chains or fragments of them to some high-symmetry structures or fragments.
