Provides an overview of theoretical and experimental advances in the understanding of lipid bilayers and protein/lipid interactions at the microscopic level, with sections on computational issues regarding biomembrane simulation; experimental probes of biomembrane structure and dynamics; small molecules and peptides in biomembranes; and membrane protein. Topics include lipid force field development, Monte Carlo methods, NMR and IR techniques in biomembrane studies, and thermodynamics and structural aspects of protein/peptide interactions. Of interest to molecular biologists, pharmaceutical chemists, and protein chemists. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
