For many years, phospholipid has been considered as perhaps one of the most obscure fields in biochemistry. Indeed, although the history of the study of phosphorus associated with lipid dates back to at least the 1880's (1, 2), subsequent investigations in this area have been characterised by the almost complete inability to penetrate the enigma surrounding the biological synthesis of the metabolic function of phospholipid.
