Membrane Spectroscopy - Molecular Biology, Biochemistry and Biophysics

“Membrane Spectroscopy: Molecular Biology, Biochemistry and Biophysics,” edited by Ernst Grell, is a comprehensive scientific monograph published in English in 1981 as volume 31 of the Molecular Biology, Biochemistry and Biophysics series, which brings together contributions from leading researchers on the application of spectroscopic techniques to the study of biological membranes and their molecular organization. The book covers a wide range of methods — including nuclear magnetic resonance, fluorescence, infrared and Raman spectroscopy, low-angle X-ray diffraction and chemical relaxation spectrometry — explaining both the theoretical principles of these techniques and their practical use for investigating the structure, dynamics and interactions of lipids and proteins in membranes. With detailed chapters on experimental approaches and critical reviews of how modern spectroscopy informs membrane research, this volume serves as a key reference for biochemists, biophysicists, cell biologists and graduate students interested in membrane biophysics and spectroscopic analysis.
