This review presents a comprehensive analysis of electric field distribution at the water–lipid membrane interface in the context of its relationship to various biochemical problems. The main attention is paid to the methodological aspects of bioelectrochemical techniques and quantitative analysis of electrical phenomena caused by the ionization and hydration of the membrane–water interface associated with the phase state of lipids. One of the objectives is to show the unique possibility of controlling changes in the structure of the lipid bilayer initiated by various membrane-active agents that results in electrostatic phenomena at the surface of lipid models of biomembranes—liposomes, planar lipid bilayer membranes (BLMs) and monolayers. A set of complicated experimental facts revealed in different years is analyzed here in order of increasing complexity: from the adsorption of biologically significant inorganic ions and phase rearrangements in the presence of multivalent cations to the adsorption and incorporation of pharmacologically significant compounds into the lipid bilayer, and formation of the layers of macromolecules of different types.
