Membrane biomembrane

Polymer Membranes/Biomembranes Volume Editors Meier, W.P., Knoll, W. [Pg.316]

These membranes thus have some of the characteristics of biological membranes. Biomembranes are highly fluid and, because of their low viscosity, they exhibit high diffusivities. They are also highly permselective, although for different reasons. However, both types of membranes can behave as chemical pumps . [Pg.102]

Cell membranes (elemental membranes, biomembranes) are made of a molecular bilayer (Figure 2.5.1) of water-insoluble lipids (solubility < 10 ° M ), cholesterol (30-50-mol%) and membrane proteins (20-50% of the membrane space). Cell membranes are stable only in bulk water. Organic solvents as well as lyophiliza-tion or other drying processes and contact with solid walls lead to destruction. In archaebacteria, one also finds molecular monolayers made of tetraether bolaam-phiphiles (Table 2.2.4). The thickness of biological cell membranes ranges usually from 4 to 6 nm. [Pg.94]

The crystalline studies deal with long, crystalline stacks of biomembrane vesicles, the unit cell consisting of the profile of two Qnmmetrically arranged single membranes. Biomembrane stacks investigated in this way are stacks of lipid bilayers - nerve myelin ... [Pg.164]
