Funicular structures include cable structures, membrane structures, and vaults and domes.
The disruption of plasma membrane condensation at TCR activation sites by incorporation of PUFA and 7KC correlates this membrane structure with the Lo-lipid phases in model membranes suggesting that such raft lipid-phases comprise a defining element of TCR signalling plasma membrane domains.
This study also demonstrates the importance of using PALS to characterize membrane structure changes in solvent-saturated membranes at a molecular level and to correlate pervaporation performance with solvent-induced swelling.
