LIFE - AS A MATTER OF FAT : Lipids in a Membrane Biophysics Perspective [E-Book] / by Ole G. Mouritsen, Luis A. Bagatolli
The present book gives a multi-disciplinary perspective on the physics of life and the particular role played by lipids (fats) and the lipid-bilayer component of cell membranes. The emphasis is on the physical properties of lipid membranes seen as soft and molecularly structured interfaces. By combi...
