Membrane Protein � Lipid Interactions: Physics and Chemistry in the Bilayer

Borrell, Jordi H.

Membrane Protein � Lipid Interactions: Physics and Chemistry in the Bilayer by Jordi H Borrell, Òscar Domènech, Kevin MW Keough - 1st ed. - Cham Springer International Publishing 2016 - 1 recurso en línea (XIV, 116 páginas) 66 ilustraciones, 43 ilustraciones en color - SpringerBriefs in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology 2211-9353 .

Molecular Membrane Biochemistry -- Physicochemical properties of lipids and macromolecular organization -- Lateral distribution of proteins and lipid protein structures in membranes -- Dependence of protein membrane mechanism on specific physicochemical properties.

This book has been conceives as a brief introduction to biomembranes physical chemistry for undergraduate students of sciences, and it is particularly dedicated to the lipid-protein membrane interactions. A general introduction is presented in Chapters 1 and 2. The following Chapters, 3 and 4, describe the most accepted theories on lipid-membrane protein interactions as well as the new experimental approaches, in particular, these arose from nano sciences as atomic for microscopy and single molecule force spectroscopy. The book emphasizes the relevance of physical parameters as the lateral surface pressure and the lipid curvature as actors for understanding the physicochemical properties of the biomembranes.
