Editorial Reviews

A mixture of reports from researchers who have experienced a breakthrough, and from those who are still beating their heads against a particularly stubborn (cell) wall. The 19 articles represent the major offerings at an international symposium in Bristol, England, September 1991, and discuss primary active transport proteins, secondary ion and metabolite transporters, channel and receptor proteins, and protein targeting and assembly in membranes.
