A TLC run of rat liver phospholipids is sprayed with ninhydrin, and the colour is allowed to develop. Which phospholipid

In biochemistry, enzyme catalysis and lipid structure dictates that substrate affinity, transition state stabilization and phospholipid composition govern function. Therefore PS is correct as it reflects catalytic efficiency and membrane organization, supported by mechanistic studies and conserved across related systems.

Ref: Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry, Chapter 9, Lipids and Membranes, explains phospholipid components, glycerol, fatty acids, phosphate group and membrane structure providing foundation for lipid biochemistry.
