When the six of us gathered to start planning for what was to be the Third Edition of Physiology of Membrane Disorders, it was clear that since 1986, when the Second Edition appeared, the field had experienced the dawning of a new era dominated by a change in focus from phenomenology to underlying mechanisms propelled by the power of molecular biology.
The emergence of pathogens resistant to conventional antimicrobial agents has forced us to intensify the efforts in search for new approaches to prevent infectious diseases.

The recent surge of interest in designing, validating, and implementing short-term tests for carcinogens has been spurred by the fairly convincing correlation be- tween the carcinogenicity and mutagenicity of chemicals and physical agents and by the assumption that DNA alteration, mutations, and chromosome aberrations are somehow involved in neoplastic transformation.
Methods in Protein Sequence Analysis contains an intensely prac- tical account of all the new methodology available to scientists carrying out protein and peptide sequencing studies.
This book represents the proceedings of a Satellite Symposium of the XIth International Congress of Biochemistry on "e;Control of Membrane Fluidity"e; which was held on July 7, 1979 at the Charles H.

From beach encounters, aquaculture perils, and processed-food poisoning to snake bites and biological warfare, natural toxins seem never to be far from the public's sight.
Although many pursue understanding of the relationship between protein structure and function for the thrill of pure science, the pay-off in a much broader sense is the ability to manipulate the Earth's chemistry and biology to improve the quality of life for mankind.

The editors have asked me to write this foreword probably for two reasons: First, I have spent 35 years trying to develop radiolabeled compounds that would help diagnose and treat disease.
The energy of a molecule can be studied with the help of quantum theory, a satisfactory approach because it involves only basic and clearly identified physical concepts.
The ability to measure accurately the hormones regulating calcium homeosta- sis is the fundamental first step toward understanding the roles these hormones play in health and disease.
Receptors and Gene Expression It is now more than three years since the last Meadow Brook Conference on Hormones, and a great deal has happened in the meantime.
During the past decade we have witnessed several major dis- coveries in the area of protein synthesis and post-translational modification of protein molecules.
BASIC Microcomputing and Biostatistics is designed as the first practical "e;how to"e; guide to both computer programming in BASIC and the statis- tical data processing techniques needed to analyze experimental, clinical, and other numerical data.
Man's mind stretched to a new idea never goes back to its original dimensions Oliver Wendell Holmes Our current understanding of sex and biological differentiation results from the application of three principal experimental approaches to these subjects: those of the physiologist, the biochemist, and the geneticist.
The Chilton Conference on Inositol and Phosphoinositides, held on January 9-11, 1984 at Southwestern Medical School, University of Texas Health Science Center, Dallas, Texas, was the third in a series of conferences on cyclitols and phosphoinositides.
