In several diseases, cardiolipin (CL) content is lowered and acyl chains remodeled. CL content has a strong impact on physical properties of biomimetic membranes. Remodeling of (18:2)4CL to (14:0)4CL has a strong influence on membrane properties. (18:2)4CL, (18:1)4CL, and (22:6)4CL behave similarly in complex monolayers. CL content and acyl chain composition differentially target membrane organization.
