We seek to investigate the way in which these macromolecules make it possible for the long fibers of our nerve and muscle cells to conduct impulses. These integral components of cell membranes are marvels of nature‘s evolutionary adaptation. To understand them we must probe the boundaries of physics and chemistry. Since function is intimately related to structure, we examine the molecular structure of channels, focusing on physical principles that govern all matter. With the application of genetic methods, our knowledge of ion channels has broadened and deepened. In the hope that research can help ameliorate suffering, we discuss the diseases that arise from channel malfunctions due to genetic mutations. This book is intended for students and scientists who are willing to travel into uncharted waters of an interdisciplinary science. We approach the subject of volta- sensitive ion channels from various points of view. This book seeks to give voice to the viewpoints of the physical and the biological scientist, and t | 出版日期 | Book 2008 | 关键词 | animals; biology; biophysics; chemistry; condensed matter; electrophysiology; information; organic chemistr | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4020-5525-6 | isbn_softcover | 978-90-481-7384-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4020-5525-6 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2008 |
