Composition and Formation of Myelin Sheath Molecular Neurobiology Myelin may be made by different cell types‚ varies in chemical composition and configuration‚ but performs the same insulating function. Myelin is about 40% water; the dry mass of myelin is about 70 - 85% lipids and about 15 - 30% proteins. Some of the proteins that make up myelin are myelin basic protein (MBP)‚ myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG)‚ and proteolipid protein (PLP). The primary lipid of myelin is a glycolipid

Paragraph 1 Perovskite‚ with a general formula of ABO3‚ has a structure comparable to that of ReO3. What differentiates them is the fact that ReO3 lacks the cation A at its unit cell centres. An octahedron made up of six oxygen atoms encompasses each rhenium atom‚ and it forms the 3-dimensional structure by connecting its corners with other octahedral. At low temperatures and a pressure of about 3kbar‚ the Fermi-surface cross sections undergo nonlinear patterns. ReO3 thus undergoes phase transitions
