<p>to the Second Edition RESEARCH INTO MEMBRANE-ASSOCIATED PHENOMENA HAS EXPANDED VERY greatly in the five years that have elapsed since the first edition of Biological Membranes was published. It is to take account of rapid advances in the field that we have written the present edition. There is now general acceptance of the fluid mosaic model of membrane structure and of the chemiosmotic interpretation of energetic processes, and our attention has shifted from justifying these ideas to explaining membrane functions in their terms. Much more information has become available concerning the role of the plasma membrane in the cell's recognition of and response to external signals, and this is reflected in the increased coverage of these topics in the book. The general form of the book remains the same. As before, a list of suggested reading, sub-divided by chapter, is provided and this has been expanded to include a greater proportion of original papers. The book is still primarily designed as an advanced undergraduate text and also to serve as an introduction for post-graduate workers entering the field of membrane research. We have taken cognizance of the comments of many reviewers, colleagues and students on the first edition and thank them for their contributions. In particular we wish to acknowledge our colleagues R. Eisenthal, G. D. Holman, D. W. Hough, and A. H. Rose. Dr. C. R.</p>

Biological Membranes, Their Structure and Function (Tertiary Level Biology Series)

Halsted Pr

This collection of 21 articles summarizes the major advances that have occurred over the last few years in the neuropharmacology of pesticides. The articles were presented at Neurotox '85, an international symposium held at the University of Bath, England. The contributors emphasize the molecular basis of neuropharmacology and neurobiology, with examples taken from invertebrate and vertebrate nervous systems. They also stress the relationship between the chemical structure and neurotoxicity and describe the effects of neurotoxicants upon molecular and cellular components within the nervous system. Among the topics discussed are structure$activity analysis in drug design, the use of computer graphics to study drug-receptor interactions, and avermectins, a new type of pesticide.
