Biomembrane Transport covers the fundamental principles of biomembrane transport proteins, including thermodynamics and kinetics, structure and catalytic mechanism, and regulation and integration classification. The book considers recent advances in transport protein structure and function, along with established concepts. The importance of biomembrane transport to regulation and interorgan nutrient flows and metabolism is covered, as well as classical and modern techniques for characterizing transport. The book also contains a classification scheme for all known transport proteins according to their functions and amino acid residue sequence similarities.

From the Back Cover

Biomembranes are virtually impenetrable barriers to hydrophilic substances. Several different transport proteins have thus evolved to catalyze migration of solutes across these membranes. One evolving theme of all such transport is the movement of the protein. Every transport protein moves to a degree, although the conformational changes vary among the group as a whole. Biomembrane Transport integrates the recent advances in this broad field with several historically important concepts. Biomembrane Transport covers the fundamental principles of biomembrane transport proteins, including:* thermodynamics and kinetics* structure and catalytic mechanism* regulation and integration* classification
