Definition of acyl in English: acylnoun ˈeɪsʌɪlˈasɪlˈasəl Chemistry as modifier Denoting a radical of general formula —C(O)R, where R is an alkyl group, derived from a carboxylic acid. Example sentencesExamples - In our model a phospholipid molecule is represented by a pair of nearest-neighbor acyl chains, linked covalently to each other.
- Recently we used this method to study the effect of conjugated double bonds in lipid acyl chains on phase behavior and membrane architecture of die lipids.
- These spectra are similar to those obtained for multilamellar vesicles made of lipids with deuterated acyl chains.
- The insertion of the hydrophobic acyl chains into the lipid bilayer forms a putative fourth cytoplasmic loop.
- This fold gathers the hydrophobic residues such that the acyl side chains have a reduced exposure to water.
Origin Late 19th century: coined in German, from Latin acidus (see acid) + -yl.
