[edit] Proposed opening
How about "phosphatidylcholines are a class of phosphatides incorporating choline"? Unfree (talk) 08:55, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Picture is Wrong
The oleoyl and palmitoyl sidechains are incorrect. Graphic should be updated to account for this.
If you count the carbons, the oleoyl chain should be Oleic acid, an 18 carbon compound, however, is shown as only having 15 carbons. Similarly, the palmitoyl chain is too short as well, and should contain 16 carbons. On a plus side, the choline is correct.
