OAK RIDGE, Tennessee, March 3 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory issued the following news release:
Biological membranes, such as the "walls" of most types of living cells, primarily consist of a double layer of lipids, or "lipid bilayer," that forms the structure, and a variety of embedded and attached proteins with highly specialized functions, including proteins that rapidly and selectively transport ions and molecules in and out . . .
