Ebook: Dynamics and Biogenesis of Membranes

Membrane proteins, lipids and their glycosylated derivatives are discussed both with respect to their biosynthesis as well as regarding their mutual interaction and assembly into functional membranes. Topics cover a large variety of systems and cells: investigation on virus membranes as well as pro- and eukaryotic cells are included.
