A comprehensive presentation of the current knowledge of phospholipids and their properties, encompassing the whole range of topics from pure synthetic chemistry and biochemistry, through (bio)physical chemistry and structural research, to biology, immunology, and medicine. The handbook consists of three major parts covering general properties and methods of preparation and purification, physical and structural properties, and biological and medical aspects. In addition, selected data characterizing the structural, thermodynamic, and some of the functional properties of phospholipids are presented in several appendices. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
Employing a multidisciplinary approach to phospholipid research, this work catalogues the current knowledge of this class of molecules and details the general, chemical, physical and structural properties of phospholipid monolayers and bilayers. Phospholipid applications are also covered.
