Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a range of articles on varied topics that consider evidence for the existence of nonvesicular transport for processes that have generally been considered to be carried out by means of vesicle mechanisms, particularly for the movement of proteins and neurotransmitters across membranes. The contributors base their hypotheses on knowledge of the kinetic, thermodynamic, and compartmental characteristics of a process in real space-time, independent of specific models that attempt to explain it.
