This book includes descriptions of modern methods employed for studies of membrane proteins, which represent nearly 40% of all proteins. The functional importance of these proteins cannot be overestimated. These proteins act as cell receptors, enzymes, and molecules triggering various metabolic processes. Membrane proteins are involved in intercellular interactions, and they also determine antigenic properties and many other biological processes. The study of membrane proteins is the most difficult part of proteomics, and it requires the use of complex special methods.
