Opis

Membrane proteins, lipids and their glycosylated derivatives are discussed both with respect to their biosynthesis as well as regarding their mutual interaction and assembly into functional membranes. Topics cover a large variety of systems and cells: investigation on virus membranes as well as pro- and eukaryotic cells are included.
