A number of apparently unrelated phenomena in biological systems
(e.g., biopolymer aggregation, cell-cell interactions, ion
transport across membranes) arise from the special properties of
charged surfaces. A sym posium entitled "Electrical Double Layers
in Biology," which took place at the Toronto meeting of the
Electrochemical Society, 12-17 May 1985, focused on the common
features of these phenomena. The papers presented at that symposium
are collected here and they illustrate ways in which an under
standing of electrical double layers can elucidate a problem in
Biology. An example of this approach can be seen from the paper I
presented on ion transport and excitation, where the "unusual" ion
flows during nerve excitation are actually expected if one includes
the effects of electrical double layers at membrane surfaces.
Furthermore, the selectivity of the ion channels in these membranes
can be better understood on this basis. Other presentations account
for such observations as the changes in spacing between muscle
proteins during contraction, the interactions of red cells to form
rouleaux, the electrical properties of algal cell membranes,
electrokinetic potentials during blood flow in arteries, etc. I
trust that these papers will indicate the value of electrochemistry
in the study of biological systems, an area of research usually
called Bioelectrochemistry, and will encourage biologists to use
these ideas when approaching related problems."
