Description
In recent years it has become evident that transport processes across membranes play a crucial role in many metabolic systems. The activities
of these transport processes often determine the physiology of the organisms.
This book presents a state of the art review on the analysis
of a wide variety of transport systems from bacteria and eukaryotic cells. A selection has been made of those systems that have been
studied at the molecular level with special emphasis paid to the energetic and other biophysical properties. The different classes of
transport systems are presented in the following: primary transport, secondary transport, phosphotransferase systems, channels and porines
and macromolecular transport. Within each class of transporters several systems are presented by the leading experts in the field, which
has resulted in a very broad overview of transport processes in biological cells. In this way the differences in the mechanisms used
for translocation become evident while on the other hand features common to the different transport systems are revealed.
