Lung Surfactant Function and Disorder

The only source to describe the lung surfactant as a complex membranous system, this guide analyzes lung surfactant function from the aspects of molecular biology, biophysics, membrane science, and surface and interface analysis and reviews the latest basic and clinical issues relating to lung disease and (dys)function. With chapters written by contributors at the forefront of the field, the book covers state-of-the-art methodologies to detect and analyze the biomolecular structure-function properties of surfactants in areas including single-molecule analysis, mass spectrometry, atomic force microscopy, genetic-knockout systems, and microbiology.
