From this it should already become obvious that the understanding of life is partially based on detailed knowledge on biological membranes. Still, in recent years the focus has been on the genetic code, however, researchers have started to claim that the understanding of life is not only based on the genetic code, but biological membranes play a bigger role than presently thought.
Here, we want to present a series of articles which are related with biological membranes. This does not only include gathered facts on these systems, but also various experimental and theoretical techniques applied to the study of these systems will be explained. As well not only common text book pictures will be presented. That research is an ever going field of discussion and development shall be shown on examples where researchers challenge accepted views on different aspects of biological function. Sometimes this will only include minor differences, but also more radical views will be presented.
Authors who might be willing to contribute to complement this series of articles are welcome to contact the responsible editor at hseeger (at) xscience.info. Comments and suggestions about articles are appreciated too. With time we also intend to provide a collection of these articles in a single pdf-file.
We hope you will enjoy this series of articles on "Membrane Biophysics" provided by www.xScience.Info.
