Definition of Phosphatidylglycerol

Phosphatidylglycerol (PG) is a phospholipid present in lung surfactants. PG is negatively charged due to the polar phosphate group. The overall molecule is also electronegative. Its basic structure is L-glycerol-3-phosphoric acid backbone with saturated or unsaturated fatty acids connected by ester bonds at the 1 and 2 positions, and glycerol and phosphoric acid form monoesters.

Complete Dissolution of Phosphatidylglycerol

Add a little water to the organic solvent such as methanol or ethanol used, about 0.1%~1% of the total solvent volume (the specific addition amount is subject to the experiment), and then with a high temperature (around the phase transition temperature) water bath ultrasonic to dissolve completely.
