DOPA lipid (1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate) is an anionic phospholipid widely used in membrane biophysics, liposome formulation, lipid–protein interaction studies, and nanocarrier development. Its negatively charged headgroup and fluid unsaturated tails make it an essential component in model membranes and advanced drug-delivery lipid systems.
