Lipidomics update - April, 2018
The lipidomics update provides an overview of developments in lipid research. Each month we offer a fresh collection of research, news and events for the specialist and the interested non-specialist alike.
LIPID MAPS highlights
Search a virtual database of lipid classes or the LIPID MAPS structure database (LMSD) with a list of precursor ions. - A database composed of major classes of lipid species has been generated from a list of commonly occurring acyl/alkyl chains. Chain positions and double bond regiochemistry and geometry are not specified. Search the database by entering a list of precursor ion m/z values, selecting an appropriate ion type and mass tolerance range. Optionally restrict the search to certain lipid classes.
LIPID MAPS Annual Meeting 2016: Lipidomics Impact on Metabolic, Cancer, Cardiovascular and Inflammatory Diseases - The meeting program is now available and registration is open!
Lipid of the month
12-oxo Phytodienoic acid (OPDA) or 12-oxo-PDA LMFA02010001 is an octadecanoid and a biologically active, immediate precursor of 7-epi jasmonic acid. In addition to its link with jasmonic acid activity, OPDA appears to play an independent role in mediating resistance to pathogens and pests.
