Energy Transduction in Biological Membranes was primarily designed
for graduate courses in bioenergetics. Not only does it discuss basic
principles and concepts central to modern membrane biochemistry,
biophysics and molecular biology, but also (1) the components and
pathways for electron transport and hydrogen ion translocation, and (2)
the utilization of electrochemical ion gradients. The book is unique in
presenting a comparative treatment of respiratory and photosynthetic
energy transduction, and in using protein sequence data coupled with
physical concepts to discuss the mechanisms of energy transducing
proteins.
