摘要: Abstract The recent literature provides strong evidence that phase separations do occur in biological membranes. Phase co-existence, as microscopic domains, raises important questions with regard to domain connectivity, percolation, long-range translational diffusion, lateral segregation of membrane components and efficiency bimolecular reactions It also a basis for understanding several documented structural dynamic aspects this cellular structure. is suggested changes between different ‘landscapes’ may function switching mechanisms physiologically events cell.
