The researchers used a laser to heat a gold surface to 800 °C (1,470 °F), and they measured how quickly the heat energy reached the methyl ends of the hydrocarbon chains.
An idea that has guided studies of lipoxygenase specificity for many years is that if the positions of the carboxy (polar) and methyl ends of the acyl chain within the substrate channel were reversed, then a 5 S- or a 15 S-lipoxygenase product of arachidonic acid could result from minor adjustments of a conserved protein fold.

The omega designations (also referred to as n-3 and n-6) indicate the location of the first double bond from the methyl end of the fatty acid.
The hydrophobic methyl end of the antibiotic would thermodynamically favor the hydrophobic side of the fosfomycin cage of the enzyme.
In n-3, this last double bond is located between the third and fourth carbon atom from the methyl end of the fatty acid chain.
EPR determinations of protein-bound and free DSAs showed that the affinity of these lipids for the enzyme depends on the length of the methyl end of the hydrocarbon chain, and increases with ΔΔ G of −190 cal/methylene.
There are two families of PUFA, and they are classified as omega-3 (n-3) and omega-6 (n-6) based on the location of the last double bond relative to the terminal methyl end of the molecule [ 6].
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω3-PUFAs) have the first double bond in the ω3 position (third carbon from the methyl end of the carbon chain) and are considered essential fatty acids because they cannot be synthesized by mammals [ 1].
Omega-3 fatty acids refer to the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCPUFA) with the first C = C double bond at the n-3 position, i.e., the third carbon from the methyl end of the carbon chain.
The newly identified ω-3 desaturases belong to the so-called type II desaturase that introduces double bond near the methyl end of an unsaturated fatty acid (Uttaro 2006).
The position of double bonds of unsaturated fatty acids also has an effect in oxidation of colloidal dispersions 112 with more stability when the double bond is closer to the methyl end of the molecule 22. Trans fatty acids, with a straight configuration causing their molecules to be tightly packed with higher melting points, are more stable than cis fatty acids 113.
