Inhaltsangabe

New textbooks at all levels of chemistry appear with great regularity. Some fields like basic biochemistry, organic reaction mechanisms, and chemical thermody- namics are well represented by many excellent texts, and new or revised editions are published sufficiently often to keep up with progress in research. However, some areas of chemistry, especially many of those taught at the graduate level, suffer from a real lack of up-to-date textbooks. The most serious needs occur in fields that are rapidly changing. Textbooks in these subjects usually have to be written by scientists actually involved in the research which is advancing the field. It is not often easy to persuade such individuals to set time aside to help spread the knowledge they have accumulated. Our goal, in this series, is to pinpoint areas of chemistry where recent progress has outpaced what is covered in any available textbooks, and then seek out and persuade experts in these fields to produce relatively concise but instructive introductions to their fields. These should serve the needs of one semester or one quarter graduate courses in chemistry and biochemistry. In some cases, the availability of texts in active research areas should help stimulate the creation of new courses.

Reseña del editor

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.
