Biomimetic approaches for studying membrane processes.
This short review focuses on recent innovative systems and experimental approaches designed to investigate membrane processes and biomolecular interactions associated with membranes. Our emphasis is on "biomimetics" which reflects the significance and contributions of the chemistry/biology interface in addressing complex biological questions. We have not limited this review to discussion of new "sensors" or "assays"per se, but rather we tried to review new concepts employed for analysis of membrane processes.
