Biological membranes [electronic resource] : a molecular perspective from computation and experiment / Kenneth M. Merz, Jr., and Benoît Roux, editors.

The interface between a living cell and the surrounding world plays a critical role in numerous complex biological processes. Sperm/egg fusion, virus/cell fusion, exocytosis, endocytosis, and ion permeation are a few examples of processes involving membranes. In recent years, powerful tools such as...
