Introduction (K. Nag)

I. MEMBRANE STRUCTURE.

1. The membrane interface as a structured compartment and a substrate for enzyme action (O.G. Mouritsen, L.A. Bagatolli ).

2. TOF-SIMS imaging of lipid/protein model systems (M.Seifert, M.Saleem, D. Breitenstein, H-.J. Galaah and N. Meyers).

3. Flexibility and structure of fluid bilayer interfaces (M. Rappolt and G. Pabst).

4. X-ray diffraction studies of lung surfactant membrane structures (M. Larsson).

5. Neutron and X-ray scattering from isotropic and aligned membranes (J. Katsaras, J.Penser, M.P. Nieh, T. Abraham, N. Kucerka,and T.A. Haroun).

II. DYNAMICS & MOLECULAR EVENTS AT MEMBRANE INTERFACES.

6. Interactions of plasma proteins with phospholipids at interfaces (Yin, C-L., A, D. Dorcas and C.-H. Chang).

7. Monitoring of membrane -associated protein binding and of enzyme activity in monolayers at the air-water interface by infrared spectroscopy (S. Bussieres, J. Bouches, P. Desmeulles, M. Grandbois, B. Desbat, and C. Salesse).

8. Chirality and dipolar interactions of membrane mimectic amphiphilic molecules (N. Nandi, K. Thirumoorthy, D. Volhardt, and N. Nandy (Birla).

9. Organic and inorganic osmolytes at lipid membrane interfaces (Westh, P. and G.H. Peters).

10. Protein-lipid interactions from a molecular dynamics point of view (Kandt, C, E.Matyus, and D.P. Teilman)

III. COMPLEX MEMBRANOUS SYSTEMS.

11. Molecular analysis of bacterial membranous systems (S.Sioud, N.Joly, P. Martin and J. Banoub).

12. Thermodynamics of the nervous impulse (T. Heimberg and A.D. Jackson).

13. The relationships between surface viscosity, monolayer phase behaviour and the stability of lung surfactant monolayers (Zasadzinki J, C.Alonso, J.Ding, F. Bringezu, H. Warriner, T. Alig, S. Seltenkamp and A.J. Waring).

14. A cursory glance on the physicochemical properties of oppositely charged surfactants in solution and at the air-water interface (A.K. Panda and K. Nag).

15. Phase transitions, cholesterol and Raft structures in monolayer films and bilayers of a natural membranous system (K. Nag, M. Fritzen-Garcia, R. Devraj, A.H. Hillier, and D. Rose).
