Fig. 8: Lipid tail order parameter (SCD) as a function of carbon number in the acyl chain.

a Lipid chemical structures of PMPE (black circle) and PYPE (orange square). b SCDs for PMPEs of the WT membrane system and for PYPEs of the Δcfa membrane system. The upper figure represents Sn-1, while the lower figure illustrates Sn-2. Orange lines with squares represent the PYPE of the Δcfa membrane system, and black lines with circles represent the WT membrane system. Standard errors are smaller than the symbols.
