Introduction to Biological Membranes - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Covers the basic properties of biological membranes in terms of the underlying biophysical properties. Emphasizes the intrinsic molecular logic and intermolecular interactions that underly the functions of biomembranes. Chapter coverage includes a working model for the structure of a biomembrane, molecular properties of phospholipids in biomembranes, properties of lipid/water systems including polymorphism and phase properties, proteins and carbohydrates in bilayers, translocation across bilayers by solubility diffusion, transmembrane potential, and much more. Many recent developments are discussed, such as transbilayer conformation of proteins, single-channel conductance, the receptor mediated endocytosis, and others. Contains many tables, figures, and over 500 key references up to the end of 1986.
