Various techniques and protocols described in the first edition remain relevant to membrane lipid analysis to date. However in recent years, several major cutting-edge technological break- throughs have changed the manner in which we can analyze lipids and membrane proper- ties. For example, improved lipid extraction and purification protocols now allow higher extractionefficiencyforbothpolarandnon-polarlipids;thelastdecadehasseentheeraof “lipidomics,” which is mass spectrometry-based characterization of lipids, allowing robust andaccuratequantificationmethodsusingadvancedtechniqueslikeelectrosprayionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS), gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS), and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), among others; develop- ment of fluorescence-based techniques like fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP), time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy (TRFS), and various imaging techniques now allows better visualization and understanding of membrane components and their properties. This second edition serves as a reference lipid recipe book which provides a timely overview of the groundbreaking advances made in analytical tools in the last two decades and presents methodological approaches to study high-throughput lipidomics, lipid–protein interactions, signaling pathways, regulation of lipid metabolism, functions in modulatingimmunesystems,anddiseases,amongothers.Theluciddescriptionprecededby updated background will make it very user friendly which every researcher and teacher wouldliketouseitasabench-topbook.Leadingexpertsinthefieldhavecontributedtothis user-friendly bench-top manualwhich offers anideal reference guide for membrane biolo- gists, researchers, graduate and undergraduate students, clinicians, and mycologists. This bookwasayearlongproject.Therefore,wemustthankalltheauthorsandSpringerteamfor their patience and support toward successful completion of this project. In the end, we wouldliketosaythatapartfrombeingareferencebookforthoserelatedinlipidresearch,it is extremely useful and most suited for biochemistry, microbiology, and biotechnology teaching.

Keywords Lipids,Membrane,Functions 1 Introduction Lipids are well known as a source of biofuel and as membrane structural components; however, these sparingly water-soluble molecules have recently come to prominence due to the discovery oftheirmultidimensionalrolesextendingfromhumandiseasesand infections caused by microbial and fungal organisms [1]. This has fueled greater momentum in lipid research, well supported by the advancement of analytical tools including high-throughput mass spectrometry-based advanced techniques presenting high resolu- tion and detection of lipids which otherwise remained undetected due to their lower content [2]. Among eukaryotic models for unveiling multiple roles of lipids, budding yeast Saccharomyces cereviseae has been a preferred model. The genetic flexibility provided by this haploid yeast has enabled us to unknot various facetsoflipids.Asaresult,afairlygoodknowledgeconcerningthe spectrum of lipid composition, and regulatory circuitry governing RajendraPrasadandAshutoshSingh(eds.),AnalysisofMembraneLipids,SpringerProtocolsHandbooks, https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-0716-0631-5_1,©SpringerScience+BusinessMedia,LLC,partofSpringerNature2020 1
