摘要: Abstract Lipids form the basic building blocks of biological membranes but their role in membrane structure is many-fold and can be divided loosely into structural functional aspects, although evidently both are closely related. This review highlights several key areas: chain interdigitation; domain formation; asymmetry vesicle transport; modulation enzyme activity; protein insertion translocation; lipid-protein interactions; and, lipid diffussion. These principally those areas that have received special attention during past year.
