Abstract. The present state of the Generalized Molecular Asymmetry (GMA) model in liquid crystal physics is reviewed. Emphasis is made upon the recent application of this model for description of lyotropic and biological liquid crystal structures. The capacity of the model to provide a general framework for all types of liquid crystals is revealed.
