"This is a book about membranes and proteins. Membranes, because they're central to all life; proteins, because-well, because the three of us have all had life-long love affairs with membrane proteins. And love sometimes makes you take on totally crazy projects, like writing a textbook ... So here we are, ten+ years after we first sat down to hash out a list of chapters that we though should go into a book on membranes and proteins. Our main ambition has been to bridge between the worlds of physical chemistry/biophysics on the one hand and molecular cell biology on the other, without losing ourselves completely in either one. Meaning that most readers will find the treatment of their own favorite subject both inadequate and superficial, while other areas are being given far too much weight-in fact, this is precisely what we've hoped to achieve, so please let us know!"-- Provided by publisher
