Biological membranes [electronic resource] : structure, biogenesis, and dynamics / edited by Jos A.F. Op den Kamp.

The biological membrane is an essential interface in life. It is involved in import and export processes and offers a matrix for numerous intracellular processes. Provided here is a comprehensive overview of the progress made in the field over the past years. The volume focuses on the dynamic charac...
