<p>This text attempts to introduce the molecular biology of cell membranes to students and professionals of diverse backgrounds. Although several membrane biology books are available, they do not integrate recent knowledge gained using modern molecular tools with more traditional membrane topics. Mo
<p>This book was originated from a series of lectures given in a course on the physical properties of biological membranes and their functional implicaΒ tions. The course was intended to allow students to get acquainted with the physical techniques used to study biological membranes. The experience
