title: Model membrane systems.
abstract: The context of the membrane is crucial for the interaction of many membrane proteins with their ligands. However, many detailed studies cannot be carried out in living cells. Therefore, studying these interactions requires model membrane systems that are compatible with the used analytical method. A big variety of these methods is available, each of which has its advantages and disadvantages. This chapter gives an overview over the existing techniques, a basic introduction into work with lipids, and detailed protocols for selected methods.
