Description

In this double-volume leading experimental (Volume 1) and theoretical (Volume 2) scientists explore a wide range of subjects related to lipid membrane asymmetry and lateral heterogeneity. A burst of recent research has shown that bilayers whose leaflets differ in their physical properties—such as composition, phase state, or lateral stress—exhibit many fascinating new characteristics, but also pose a host of new challenges related to their creation, characterization, simulation, and theoretical description. This compendium offers a broad spectrum of hands-on techniques from practitioners in the fields, aimed to enable scientists interested in entering this new field to start their own research.
