Biomembranes

Más información sobre el libro

This book is a broad survey covering the fundamental concepts and current state of research in biomembranes. It is intended as a text suitable for graduate level courses or as a reference work for individuals who are either already involved in membrane research or are interested in entering the field. Portions of the text in addition contain information which is particularly valuable to students engaged in laboratory research on biomembranes, e.g., discussions of experimental techniques, chemical structures, tabulated data, and numerous references to facilitate using the literature. Those parts of the text relating to transport proteins and receptors are unique in their perspective and breadth of coverage. In addition, the chapters on membrane enzymology and on small molecule interactions contain information difficult to find elsewhere. A conscious attempt has been made to tie together numerous areas into an overall perspective on the current state of affairs.
