Formation and Cooperative Behaviour of Protein Complexes on the Cell Membrane

Formation and Cooperative Behaviour of Protein Complexes on the Cell Membrane by Ksenia Guseva.

With the aim of providing a deeper insight into possible mechanisms of biological self-organization, this thesis presents new approaches to describe the process of self-assembly and the impact of spatial organization on the function of membrane proteins, from a statistical physics point of view. It...
