About this title

Synopsis

Focuses on membrane adhesion and fusion, in 16 studies involving lipids, virus envelopes, and cell membranes, and emphasizing roles of polymers, lipids, and proteins on such membrane interactions. The April 1990 symposium in Boston, Massachusetts revolved around the notion that membrane hydrophobicity, especially local, is one of the important fact
