摘要: The study of membrane proteins requires a proper consideration the specific environment provided by biomembrane. compositional complexity this poses great challenges to all experimental and theoretical approaches. In article rather simple concept is discussed for its ability mimic biomembrane approximated three mimicry solvents forming individual continuum layers characteristic physical properties. Several structural problems are studied with focus on biological significance such an approach. Our results support general perception that crucial correct positioning embedding constituents. described model provides semi-quantitative tool potential interest many in biology.
