Abstract: |
Lipids constitute the most chemically heterogeneous class of biomolecules. Their biological functions and roles are as diverse as their chemical structures. Lipids are the main structural components of cell membranes and serve as a form of energy storage for the body. Additionally, specific lipids function as coenzymes, hormones, electron transport molecules, and signaling molecules. The study of lipids is a crucial part of biochemistry and is essential for understanding cellular functions. This chapter covers the methods for obtaining lipids, separating them into individual species, quantitatively determining lipid content, and identifying their characteristic groups and overall structures.
