Electrophoresis along cell membranes

Nature volume 265, pages 600–602 (1977)Cite this article

Abstract

Bioelectric fields may segregate charged components floating in the plasma membranes of cells by a process of electrophoresis along the membrane. Molecules in cell membranes may be sorted to different portions of the cell surface by such electrical gradients. We present here a theory to support this hypothesis.
