Molecular Characteristics and Biological Functions of Surface-Active and Surfactant Proteins.

abstract：:It is impossible to do justice in one review article to a researcher of the stature of Christopher Dobson. His career spanned almost five decades, resulting in more than 870 publications and a legacy that will continue to influence the lives of many for decades to come. In this review, I have attempted to capture Chri...
