It is well known that the universal model of the cell membrane structure is the lipid bilayer, which constitutes the environment for integral and surface membrane proteins. Thus, much attention has been given to the study of the organization and properties of these structures concerning both experimental and theoretical aspects. As systematic examinations are impeded by the complexity of the natural membranes, the best approach to conducting detailed physical and chemical studies of biological membranes is to use simplified well-defined model lipid membranes. Among the most commonly used are liposomes, planar lipid membranes, membranes on solid substrates, and lipid monolayers on the free surface.Studies of the electrical properties of model lipid membranes have been carried out for many years. However, there are still many issues that have not been verified experimentally and for which the existing results are incomplete or inconsistent. Therefore, the main objective of this book was to collect recent scientific and review articles on the electrical properties of model lipid membranes. This objective has been successfully achieved, for which I express heartfelt appreciation to all authors and reviewers for their excellent contributions.Research & information: generalbicsscBiology, life sciencesbicssccinnamic acidp-coumaric acidferulic acidphenolic compoundelectrophoretic light scatteringelectrochemical impedance spectroscopyphospholipid bilayersliposomesdrug-membrane interactionmembrane biophysical studyelectrochemistrygold electrodesupported lipid membranesbicellesself-assemblyLangmuir monolayerselectric surface potentialdipole momentsphospholipidsresveratrolplanar lipid membranecholesterolchannel-like eventcapacitancefatal ethyl alcohol poisoningsurface charge densitymicroelectrophoresisacid-base equilibriaerythrocytesthrombocytesplanar lipid bilayervoltage breakdownwater poreshydrophobic poreslipid bilayer electrostaticszwitterionic lipid bilayerselectric double layerosmotic pressureorientational degree of freedom of lipid headgroupsorientational ordering of water dipolesadhesion of lipid vesicleslipid bilayer elasticitylipid vesicle shapeslipid bilayerssucroserelative permittivitydipole potentialmembrane structurepolymersplateletsdynamic light scatteringFTIR spectroscopyResearch & information: generalBiology, life sciencesNaumowicz Monikaedt1326254Naumowicz MonikaothBOOK9910566472903321Electrical Properties of Model Lipid Membranes3037221UNINA
