Publisher's Synopsis
New Techniques for Studying Biomembranes describes some of the latest methods used to investigate the dynamic distribution of specific lipids in membranes and their effects on other membrane components. The contributors present important discoveries with respect to lipid analysis and lipid interactions with membrane proteins. Various methods, which have been used to study lipid bilayer structure and lipid organization in membranes, include both in vitro and in vivo membrane systems, and study membrane proteins in various membrane systems.
Key Features:
- Reviews both in vivo and in vitro analytical technologies and methods for studying membrane structure and function
- Explores how lipid bilayers and membrane proteins interact
- Includes contributions from an international team of researchers actively studying membrane structure and function
- Identifies various diseases whose causes are related to membrane proteins
