JOURNAL OF MEMBRANE BIOLOGY

The Journal of Membrane Biology will publish papers on the nature the structure genesis and functions of biological membranes and on the physics and chemistry of artificial membranes with a bearing on biomembranes. It will publish articles dealing with plasma membranes (including cell surfaces and accessory surface structures such as bacterial or plant cell walls); intracellular membranes (e.g. membranes of organelles nuclei mitochondria chloroplasts vesicles intracellular reticula); membrane organs (e.g. skin urinary bladder gut kidney lung); biomembrane models (e.g. monolayers bilayers synthetic membranes); and general considerations of two-dimensional biological structures . Suitable topics are chemical and physical structure; immunochemical properties and fingerprinting; colloid and surface chemistry; transport and secretory functions including natural and artificial transport carrier systems membrane channels diffusion and pinocytosis; metabolic functions membrane-bound enzyme systems transduction; electrical phenomena in excitable membranes nerve muscle receptors etc; membrane - membrane interaction intercellular communication; membrane synthesis and replication; cell regulatory functions of membranes and cybernetic aspects; membrane genetics; evolution and comparative aspects of biomembranes.
