... lattice. The lipidic cubic phases (LCP) on the other hand are considered very unique structures, consisting of complex three-dimensional networks of curved lipidic bilayers separated by two different water channels. Lipidic cubic phases are also subdivided according to their mathematical minimal surfaces...

...Martin Caffrey The lipidic cubic phase method for crystallizing membrane proteins has posted some high-profile successes recently. This is especially true in the area of G-protein-coupled receptors, with six new crystallographic structures emerging in the last 3½ years. Slowly, it is becoming...
