Highly solved crystal structures and a wealth of
biochemical data are now available for an increasing
number of membrane proteins. However, the question of
how lipid molecules interact with integral membrane
proteins and regulate their structure and function in
biological membranes remains unsatisfactorily addressed.
This book discusses the functional mechanisms
of membrane proteins in general and the effect of the
surrounding lipidic environment, in the context of
recent developments in the field. Recent experimental
investigations on the proton gradient-driven
multidrug transporter LmrP...
