Recent research underscores the critical role of lipids in protein function and their co-evolution. In mitochondrial membranes, proteins interact with specific lipids unique to their biological kingdom – plant or animal. Plant lipids, rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids, confer greater membrane flexibility, aiding stress resistance. This lipid protein co-evolution adds complexity to cellular evolution and has significant implications for understanding human health and disease treatment.
