Background reading In preparation for this lecture (9/19/06) please review one or both of the following texts to (re)familiarize yourself with the basics of membrane structure. Lodish 5th ed. Ch. 5. pp. 147-165 Membranes pp. 173-177 Cytoskeleton Ch. 18. pp. 743-754 Lipids Alberts 4th ed. Ch. 10 Membrane structure (covers all three topics together) In class, we will cover this material very briefly and use it as the basis for discussion of how these facts are established and to consider them in more depth.
