Molecular Biology of Membranes: Structure and Function

This well-organized, 'user friendly', and profusely illustrated work fills the need for an up-to-date textbook on the structure and function of biological membranes. In addition to the traditional topics covered in membrane biology courses, it discusses recent findings provided by cDNA cloning and X-ray diffraction to furnish the advanced undergraduate and graduate student with the most current, practical classroom resource available.

A textbook that introduces the molecular biology of cell membranes, integrating recent knowledge gained using modern molecular tools with more traditional membrane topics. Useful in courses focusing on membranes and as a supplementary text in biochemistry courses, the textbook is appropriate for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students in biology, biochemistry, biophysics and physiology, chemistry, and medicine. Previous or concurrent coursework in biochemistry is assumed; prior studies in elementary physiology would be helpful. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
