Figure 5.
A montage of screen shots showing LIPID MAPS structure drawing tools. The top left box shows structure drawing tools available on the LIPID MAPS website. The top right box shows options available for generating a fatty acyl structure starting from either a complete abbreviation or individual specification of chain and substituent from a with its position and stereochemistry. The middle box shows an example of structure generation using acyl chains and head groups for glycerophospholipids. A comprehensive list of commonly occurring acyl chains and head groups is provided as a pull down list. The button box shows an example of a structure generated for a glycerophospholipid along with other ontological information.
