Description The quantity of information available about membrane proteins is now too large for any one person to be familiar with anything but a very
small part of the primary literature. A series of volumes concentrating on molecular aspects of biological membranes therefore seems
timely. The hope is that, when complete, these volumes will provide a convenient introduction to the study of a wide range of membrane
functions.
Application of the techniques of molecular biology has provided the sequences of a very large number of membrane proteins,
and has led to the discovery of superfamilies of membrane proteins of related structure. The classic example of the superfamily is the
seven helix receptor superfamily, all related in structure to bacteriorhodpsin, and named after the seven trans-membrane a-helices identified
in bacteriorhodpsin. This volume explores the structures and functions of this super family.
