摘要：

The molecules of living systems invariably exhibit both thermotropic and/or lyotropic liquid crystalline properties. In some cases the mesophases formed by bio-materials have lamellar structures, whereas in other situations they form columnar phases. Many liquid crystal biomaterials are found in cell membranes, indicating that such structures have properties that are dependent on liquid crystallinity for their function. In this article the mesomorphic behaviour of a variety of bio-materials is discussed.
