Abstract:
A method is described for analysing molecular species of glycerophospholipids. Diglycerides obtained by phospholipase C-catalysed hydrolysis of the phospholipid are separated into the diacyl- alkylacyl- and alkenylacyl- subclasses by HPLC on silicic acid. The molecular species of diacylglycerol are separated by HPLC of underivatised diglycerides on a reverse phase octadecyl-silica column.
