Non Equilibrium Thermodynamics of Biological Membranes

Abstract

This proposal seeks to develop a fundamental theoretical framework that governs biological processes that take place at the biologic"al membrane using non-equilibrium thermodynamics. Using this approach, we expect to identify fundamental principles of membrane resp""onses to osmotic pressure. The work proposed here is of relevance to the Undersea Medicine Program, since high pressure is a constan"t environmental stressor in undersea research and to ongoing research at the Naval Research Labs.
