Definition of Tetraether. Meaning of Tetraether. Synonyms of Tetraether

- Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether lipids (GDGTs) are a class of membrane lipids synthesized by archaea and some bacteria, making them useful biomarkers...
- a membrane-spanning lipid of the isoprenoid glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (iGDGT) class, produced and used by archaea. Membranes made up of caldarchaeol...
- Crenarchaeol is a tetraether backbone with cyclopentane and cyclohexane rings on the cross-linked "tail"s. See also glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether for more...
- contain a unique membrane composed mainly of a tetraether lipoglycan containing atypical archaeal tetraether lipid attached to a glucose- and mannose-containing...
- reduced by lithium aluminium hydride. The resulting macrocyclic diamine tetraether reacts with a second equivalent of [CH2OCH2COCl]2 to produce the macrobicyclic...
- "Crenarchaeol: The characteristic core glycerol dibiphytanyl glycerol tetraether membrane lipid of cosmopolitan pelagic crenarchaeota". Journal of Lipid...
- membrane monolayer of many Archaea, filling the space between the diglycerol tetraether head groups. This is thought to add structural resistance to harsh environments...
- a cell membrane with a unique chemical structure, containing a lipid tetraether unit and glucose in a very high proportion to the total lipids. In addition...
- Sphingosine (e.g. sphingomyelin and ceramide). Glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether (GDGT) is helping to study ancient environmental factors. The heads of...
- caldarchaeol (one typical glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraether, GDGT), one of the most common tetraether lipid in archaea. Archaeol has been found in all...
