Single cell synchrotron FT-IR microspectroscopy reveals a link between neutral lipid and storage carbohydrate fluxes in S. cerevisiae.
In most organisms, storage lipids are packaged into specialized structures called lipid droplets.These contain a core of neutral lipids surrounded by a monolayer of phospholipids, and various proteins which vary depending on the species.Hydrophobic structural proteins stabilize the interface between the lipid core and aqueous cellular environment (
