Micelles, Monolayers, and Biomembranes

Provides a fundamental understanding of the biophysical chemical properties of membrane structure and membranes' role and function in biological systems. Covers the characteristics of molecules, monolayers, more complex micelles and liposomes. Describes the significance of membrane structure, how receptors and other cell surface molecules are anchored within it, signal transduction plus the motion of proteins within and through it. Emphasizes the physical properties of biological processes.
