Biophysical determinants of membranotropism: how proteins and peptides recognize, insert into, and remodel lipid bilayers

Abstract Biological membranes are not passive barriers, but chemically heterogeneous and physically adaptable interfaces that regulate how proteins and peptides bind, fold, assemble, and act. Many membrane-active systems cannot be adequately described as simply soluble, periphera...
