Abstract:
The water-soluble phosphate profiles determined by 31P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of a broad range of vertebrate lenses are presented. We identify threonine ethanolamine phosphodiester (TEP) in intact lenses and lens extracts by its chemical shift and its physical and chemical characteristics. Amongst the species studied, we give the first characterization of frog lens where not only serine ethanolamine phosphodiesters (SEP) but TEP are found.

Phosphodiester Linkages
Overview
Phosphodiester bond forms when a phosphoric acid molecule (H3PO4) links with two hydroxyl groups (–OH) of two other molecules, forming two ester bonds. Two water molecules are released in this process. The phosphodiester bond is commonly found in nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) and plays a critical role in their structure and function.
Phosphodiester Bonds Link Nucleotides Together
DNA and RNA are polynucleotides or long chains of nucleotides that are linked together. A nucleotide is...

Phosphoinositides and PIPs
Phosphoinositides are a group of phospholipids containing a glycerol backbone with two fatty acid chains and a phosphate attached to a myoinositol sugar ring. The inositol head group extends into the cytoplasm, where it is modified by adding phosphate groups to form phosphatidylinositol phosphates or PIPs.
Different phosphoinositides are synthesized and recruited on the cytosolic face of the plasma membrane. The localization of specific phosphoinositides concentrated in separate membrane...
