Description
The major lipid components of biological membranes can undergo many diverse and fascinating morphological rearrangements. Studies of these diverse phases and the manner in which they are formed tends to alter the properties of ordinary bilayer membranes. This book examines the structural and biological roles of lipids forming non-lamellar structures.
Reviews / Votes
"This volume 44 is an exceptional, up-to-date review of the current state of knowledge of nonlamellar phases and their relationship to biological processes of cellular membrane function... I enjoyed reading this volume. It was an excellent learning experience."--Howard H. Sky-Peck, MD, PhD, FRSM, Rush Medical College of Rush University for DOODY'S PUBLISHING
