Lipid Bilayers

The report given will provide the reader with an up to date insight of the current state of the art in the field of lipid bilayer research and the important insights derived for the understanding of the complex and varied behaviour of biological membranes and its function. Furthemore, the book will be a good starting point for researchers exploring scientific endeavours other than their own.
