Abstract excerpt
The ordering state and changes in fatty acid composition of microsomal (MS) and mitochondrial (MC) membranes of two dominant temperature-sensitive (DTS) lethal mutations and the wild-type Oregon-R strain larvae of Drosophila melanogaster have been studied at 18 and 29 degrees C and after temperature-shift experiments. The membranes of wild-type larvae have a stable ordering state, with "S" values between 0.6 (18...
