Biomembrane Simulations (eBook, PDF)

Computational Studies of Biological Membranes
Redaktion: Berkowitz, Max L.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Since molecular processes in membranes occur on a multitude of spatial and time scales, molecular simulations of membranes can also serve as a testing ground for use of multi-scale simulation techniques. This book addresses some of the important issues related to understanding properties and behavior of model biological membranes
