Summary

DescriptionCellMembraneDrawing cs.svg	English: Schematic three dimensional cross section of a cell membrane. There are two major components of this dynamic, fluid, structure: lipids and proteins. A lipid bilayer provides the basic structure within which proteins are free to diffuse. Sugar moieties can be present as part of either proteins (glycoproteins) or lipids (glycolipids). A further important component shown is en:cholesterol; which intercalates between lipid molecules and affects membrane fluidity/stability. Essential Biological Functions: *Immune response *Cell metabolism *Neurotransmission *Photosynthesis *Cell adherence *Cell growth and differentiation Potential Commercial Applications *Drug response monitoring *Chemical manufacturing *Biosensing *Energy conversion *Tissue engineering Source: NIST: These World Wide Web pages are provided as a public service by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
