Current topics in membranes. Volume 44, Membrane protein-cytoskeleton interactions /
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 biologi...
