by G. MILAZZO and M. BLANK This book contains the lectures of the
fourth advanced course Bioelectrochemislry W Neroe-Muscle Function:
Bioelectrochemistry, Mechanisms, Energetics and Contro~ which took
place at the Majorana Center in Erice, Italy, October 20th to
November 1, 1991. The scope of the course was international in
terms of both sponsorship and partici pation. Sponsors included the
Bioelectrochemical Society, NATO, International Union of Pure and
Applied Biophysics (lUPAB), the World Federation of Scientists and
the Italian National Research Council. One-third of the sixty
participants were from Italy, but the majority came from eighteen
other nations. Since the course was part of the International
School of Biophysics, the biophysi cal point of view was emphasized
in integrating the biology with the electrochemistry. Lecturers
were asked to use a quantitative approach with accepted standards
and proper units, since this is absolutely essential for developing
an effective common language for communication across disciplines.
Participants were also urged not to forget that biological systems
could also be considered as physical systems. Ion channels are
proteins and their properties as polyelectrolytes contribute to the
specific biological properties. The existence of families of
channels, with very similar structures but different selectivities,
suggests that the specificities arise from slight variations of a
general basic design. These perspectives on nerve-muscle function
helped to make the school course a unique treatment of the subject.
