Asymmetric Spontaneous Intercalation of Lutein into a Phospholipid Bilayer, a Computational Study

Lutein, a hydroxylated carotenoid, is a pigment synthesised by plants and bacteria. Animals are unable to synthesise lutein, nevertheless, it is present in animal tissues, where its only source is dietary intake. Both in plants and animals, carotenoids are associated mainly with membranes where they...
