This handbook provides the only one-stop resource for primary physicochemical data relating to phospholipid bilayers. Coverage includes both dynamic and structural properties of phospholipid bilayers, along with basic thermodynamic data. With more than twice as much data, this second edition contains new sections on phase diagrams with cholesterol, hydration isotherms, spontaneous curvature, and cubic phases. It also presents much expanded information on glycolipids and includes more detailed introductory sections that explain important concepts and provide a broader framework for understanding the data.…mehr

Derek Marsh is a member of the research staff of the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Göttingen. Dr. Marsh obtained his B.A. degree in physics from the University in Oxford in 1967 and his D.Phil. degree from the same institution in 1971. He worked subsequently at the Astbury Department of Biophysics, University of Leeds; at the Biology Division of the National Research Council of Canada, Ottawa; at the Max Planck Institute in Göttingen; and at the Biochemistry Department of the University of Oxford, before moving permanently to Göttingen in 1975. Dr. Marsh's research interests centre on studies of the structure and dynamics of biological membranes and of lipid bilayer model membranes, using different biophysical techniques, the principal being spin-label electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy.
