Description
This bench-top manual provides help for beginners through to experienced scientists on setting up bilayer experiments. Cell membranes consist of lipid bilayers in which are contained many other entities (eg proteins forming ion charmels) that regulate cellular processes. Scientists are guided through the know-how on making simple artificial lipid protein systems in such bilayers. Technical tips on all the pitfalls and how to build your own set-up for experimental work round off the book.
