Synopsis
""Ion Transport Across Membranes"" is a comprehensive book written by Clarke and Hans Thacher that explores the mechanisms of ion transport across biological membranes. The book covers a wide range of topics related to ion transport, including the properties of ion channels and transporters, the regulation of ion transport, and the role of ion transport in cellular signaling and homeostasis. The authors provide a detailed analysis of the different types of ion channels and transporters, including their structure, function, and regulation. They also discuss the various factors that influence ion transport, such as membrane potential, ion concentration gradients, and the activity of ion pumps. The book is written in an accessible style that is suitable for both students and researchers in the field of ion transport. It includes numerous illustrations, diagrams, and tables to help readers understand the complex concepts and mechanisms involved in ion transport across membranes. Overall, ""Ion Transport Across Membranes"" is an essential resource for anyone interested in the biology of ion transport and its role in cellular function and disease.Contributing Authors Include W.
