Abstract
This chapter relates in a very concise way, how the physicochemical properties of membrane lipids determine the formation of self-segregated structures. The most common model methods used to understand the influence of lipid organization in membranes, lipid monolayers, liposomes and supported lipid bilayers, are reviewed as well for their suitability in the investigation of lipid-membrane protein interactions.
