He looks at domain and 'raft' formation, and discusses it in the context of thermal fluctuations that express themselves in heat capacity and elastic constants. Further topics are lipid-protein interactions, protein binding, and the effect of sterols and anesthetics. Many seemingly unrelated properties of membranes are shown 410 0$aTutorials in biophysics. 606 $aMembranes (Biology)$xThermal properties 615 0$aMembranes (Biology)$xThermal properties. 676 $a571.6/4 700 $aHeimburg$b Thomas$0522083 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910144746403321 996 $aThermal biophysics of membranes$9835740 997 $aUNINA
