  ABSTRACT
Original method for determination of the frequencies for atomic oscillations in chains [1] we have applied to lipids contained in cellular membrane. All three types of lipids - phospholipids, glycolipids and cholesterol were treated, especially phosphatidyl-choline, sphingosine, ceramide, sialic acid (N-acetyl-neuraminic acid; NANA), sphingo-myelin, phosphatidyl-serine, phosphatidyl-ethanol-amine, monocyalo-gangliosid, cholesterol, also glucose and galactose as component in some of glycolipids. Some from mechanical properties of membrane were derived, especially resonant frequencies at first and last atoms in chains, dual-electric layer as important property of membrane and possible magnetic properties of membrane.
