Biophysical Chemistry of Membrane Functions
Biophysical Chemistry of Membrane Functions Author:Arnost Kotyk, Karel Janacek, Jiri Koryta The book provides balanced information on the biology, chemistry and physics of membrane properties and their specific functions in the flow of material, transduction of energy and transformation of signals. Up-to-date specific data on these various properties and functions are contained in the book, thus making it a reference text on such subje... more »cts as membrane composition, membrane structure, all known systems of transport, all different mechanisms of energy transduction and on selected types of signal transformation. It is supplemented by general theoretical sections on diffusion, electrodiffusion, linear and nonlinear transport, equilibrium and steady-state thermodynamics, and redoc reactions, accompanied by numerical examples wherever possible.« less
