On the Structure, Dynamics and Possible Functional Roles of Inverted Micelles in Biological Membranes

  • Chapter
Reverse Micelles

Part of the book series: Forschung Soziologie

Abstract

In the past few years, we have focused our studies on the structure/function correlates in membrane receptor proteins. At the core of this endeavor reside the fundamental consequences of the interaction between the different membrane constituents namely proteins, phospholipids, counter ions, and water. The distinct modalities of the structure and function of biological membranes arise from the dynamics and stability of the interactions between these distinct components.
