Introduction
This Ebook aims to review basic understandings and give current
opinions about several important aspects of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored
(GPI) protein biology from leading experts in this exciting and
emerging field. The scope ranges from micro-domain localization
and signaling to proteomics aspects, biophysical behavior through
trans-cellular mobility to chemical synthesis of GPI mimics and
finally modification of multi-scaled membrane surfaces and potential
medical and biotech uses. The applied slant makes it very useful
to the current state of knowledge. It is hoped that it will prove
to be of considerable interest to students and researchers in this
field.
