Structure and properties of cell membranes vol 1 A Survey of Molecular Aspects of Membrane Structure and Function

"This book provides in-depth presentations in membrane biology by specialists of international repute. The volumes examine world literature on recent advances in understanding the molecular struc-ture and properties of membranes, the role they play in cellular physiology and cell-cell interactions, and the alterations leading to abnormal cells. Illustrations, tables, and useful appendices com-plement the text. Those professionals actively working in the field of cell membrane investigations as well as biologists, biochemists, biophysicists, physicians, and academicians, will find this work beneficial."--Provided by publisher Cover 1 Title Page 2 Copyright Page 3 PREFACE 4 THE EDITOR 5 Table of Contents 8 Chapter 1: The Evolution of Membrane Models 10 Chapter 2: Protein-Protein Interactions in Cell Membranes 22 Chapter 3: Lateral Mobility of Proteins in Membranes 44 Chapter 4: Lateral Diffusion of Lipids 60 Chapter 5: Topological Asymmetry and Flip-Flop of Phospholipids in Biological Membranes 86 Chapter 6: Membrane Fluidity: Molecular Basis and Physiological Significance 102 Chapter 7: Lipid Dependence of Membrane Enzymes 146 Chapter 8: Protein-Lipid Interactions in Biological Membranes 168 Chapter 9: Basement Membrane Structure, Function, and Alteration in Disease 198 Index 228 Content: Vol. 1: A survey of molecular aspects of membrane structure and function.
