About this book

The study of membranes has become of high importance in the fields of biology, pharmaceutical chemistry and medicine, since much of what happens in a cell or in a virus involves biological membranes. The current book is an excellent introduction to the area, which explains how modern analytical methods can be applied to study biological membranes and membrane proteins and the bioprocesses they are involved to.

Provides a fundamental framework for understanding of structure and dynamics of biological membranes.
Explains how modern instrumental methods can be used to study biological membranes.
Supplied with numerous illustrations and examples.
