| The color of a dye is due to its ability to absorb light in the visible region of the spectrum, an ability enhanced by unsaturation and resonance. |
| In many cases, properties attributed to sphingomyelins may simply be due to chain length and unsaturation. |
| The current work shows that lipid asymmetry and unsaturation both result in high critical pressures in monolayers. |
| The degree of unsaturation of fatty acids has been shown to influence several of these steps, at least in mammals. |
| Since these enzymes cannot introduce sites of unsaturation beyond C9 they cannot synthesize either linoleate or linolenate. |
| This requirement is applicable to all oils that have a high degree of unsaturation to ensure stability. |
