Abstract

The classical view of a biological membrane is based on the Singer-Nicholson mosaic fluid model in which the lipid bilayer is the structural backbone. Under this paradigm, many studies of biological processes such as, permeability, active transport, enzyme activity and adhesion and fusion processes have been rationalized considering the lipid membrane as a low dielectric slab of hydrocarbon chains with polar head groups exposed to water at each side in which oil/water partition prevails. In spite of several analyses and evidence available in relation to membrane hydration, water is not taken into account as a functional component. For this purpose, new insights in the water organization in restricted environments and the thermodynamical and mechanical properties emerging from them are specifically analysed and correlated.This chapter summarizes the progress of the studies of water in membranes along the book in order to give a more realistic structural and dynamical picture accounting for the membrane functional properties.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 14 September 2021.
All research outputs
#18,478,448
of 22,896,955 outputs
Outputs from Sub cellular biochemistry
#245
of 363 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#256,143
of 353,387 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Sub cellular biochemistry
#18
of 26 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,896,955 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 363 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.6. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 353,387 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 26 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
