Asymmetric Lipid Membranes: Towards More Realistic Model Systems

Asymmetric Lipid Membranes: Towards More Realistic Model Systems

Despite the ubiquity of transbilayer asymmetry in natural cell membranes, the vast majority of existing research has utilized chemically well-defined symmetric liposomes, where the inner and outer bilayer leaflets have the same composition. Here, we review various aspects of asymmetry in nature and...
