Résumé

The globotriaosylceramide acyl chains from one leaflet interdigitate into the opposing leaflet and lead to significant bilayer rigidification and immobilisation of the lipid tails. Globotriaosylceramide with saturated acyl chains can form a highly ordered, relatively immobile phase which is resistant to bending.
