Transport Across Natural and Modified Biological Membranes and its Implications in Physiology and Therapy

This book elucidates the mechanisms involved in biological membrane functions. It describes the new modalities and characterization for basic in vitro as well as computer models of biological membranes. Biological membranes are analyzed in terms of advances in molecular dynamics. The individual chap...
