Morphology and Structural Properties of Rafts

Working out of the role of lipids incorporated into membranes and the formation of a new view on the morphology, organization, and functioning of membranes has in the recent past taken place thanks to active study of the basic membrane clusters, rafts. In this overview, current data on the morphology and biophysical and biochemical features of rafts are summarized and the structure, form, and basic marker proteins of functional microdomains are described.
