Abstract:
This paper summarizes a series of ideas and/or concepts, most of which were the object of the Faraday Discussion on 'Structural and functional asymmetry of plasma membranes'. A historical review is provided of the early symmetrical and asymmetrical models for membrane structure. Membrane asymmetry in the framework of evolution is suggested as a possible field of study. Functional membrane asymmetry in experimental models is briefly discussed, and the hypothesis that functional asymmetry preceded structural asymmetry in evolution is proposed. Lipid asymmetry and lipid scrambling in bilayers are presented as two complementary aspects of the same process. The use of sphingomyelinases in experimental studies of asymmetry is criticized, due to the lipid scrambling properties of the sphingomyelinase end-product ceramide. The paper ends with a note on the (apparently?) cyclical nature of scientific research.

Leaving Groups
In general, in a nucleophilic substitution reaction, a nucleophile displaces a functional group, called the leaving group, from the substrate to give a substituted product. A leaving group departs the substrate molecule through heterolytic cleavage, taking the pair of electrons with it to become a relatively stable weak base in the form of an anion or a neutral molecule.

Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care...
