              Membranes as Scientific Fact | 
            The fluid-mosaic model 
              of the structure of cell membranes shall shed light on the process 
              of acquiring scientific knowledge and the concept of a 'scientific 
              fact'.  |

              Properties of Cell Membranes  | 
            Provides information 
              about the structure and function of biological membranes and membrane 
              proteins. It is tailored to a physical view of macromolecules and 
              the many techniques to study them. |

            Due to the importance 
              of cell membranes in physiology and cell communication, membrane 
              proteins are preeminent therapeutic targets for the treatment of 
              metabolic, immunological, vascular, endocrinological and neurological 
              disorders and prevention of viral infections.  | 
          
           
            | Membranes 
              as Therapeutic Targets  | 
            A major function of 
              cell membranes is energy storage and information processing in the 
              brain and muscle. Membranes also power cell motility, photosynthesis, 
              and respiration. |
