Isolation and Characterization of Biological Membranes

  • Chapter
Book cover Membrane Physiology

  • 101 Accesses

Abstract

The discovery of a pathological alteration in the plasma membrane of a eukaryotic cell is, for the biochemist, reflexively associated with isolation of either the altered component or the altered entity. The purpose of this chapter is to provide some general guidelines for separation of the membrane as an entity.
