Biomembranes

The volumes that have appeared in the three years since BIOMEMBRANES was launched illustrate the kinds of in­ formation the editor and the publishers envisaged would constitute the series. Some, such as this one, would consist of scholarly reviews of specialized topics; some, such as Volumes 2 and 3...
