The motivation for this review arises from the conviction that, as a result of the mass of
experimental data and observations collected in recent years, the study of the physical …

During the past 50 years, there has been increased interest in liposomes as carriers of
pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and agricultural products. More recently, much progress has been …

New textbooks at all levels of chemistry appear with great regularity. Some fields like basic
biochemistry, organic reaction mechanisms, and chemical thermody namics are well …

Various order and disorder phenomena in lipid bilayers are considered as they arise due to
the very many-particle character of the bilayer. Particular attention is paid to dynamically …

Microvilli are conventionally regarded as an extension of the small intestinal absorptive
surface, but they are also, as latterly discovered, a launching pad for brush border digestive …

The" lipocortins" are a group of proteins that have been reported to inhibit phospholipase A2
by direct interaction with enzyme. Two proteins which have been identified as lipocortin on …

Several water-soluble enzymes act on their amphipathic substrates in biological membranes
and related interfaces such as emulsions, micelles, monolayers and bilayers, For example …

A brief review is given of the theoretical models and calculational methods used to study the
main phase transition in phospholipid membranes with particular emphasis on recent …

Chapters 6–8 covered the mammalian phospholipases that are cellular for the most part.
This chapter and the following chapters also include some mammalian phospholipases A 2; …

The regulation of phospholipase A 2 (PLA 2) activity toward synthetic vesicular substrates is
a model for the modulation of enzyme function by biological membranes. PLA 2's catalytic …
