| Summary: | This treatise is comprised of two volumes: Part A (Chapters I-V) and Part B (Chapters VI-VIII) . Chapters I through III deal with components of complex subcellular systems. In Van Bruggen's Chemistry of the Membrane (Chapter I), the various models have been related to the source data, and the implication of the acceptance of one model over another has been made overt. Thus, while recognizing that biomembranes are chemically as well as functionally diverse, the discussion does much to unify the cell membrane literature. Dieckert, in Chapter II, describes cell particles and the concepts, which have developed from their study, thereby further elaborating on interrelationships inherent in subcellular organization. Consideration of enzymes associated with the membranous organelles (Brown and Chattopadhyay, Chapter III) focuses upon catalytic activity as a function of structural ties.
