Abstract

Diffusion of adsorbates on cell surface is an important natural process. Once materials reach at the surface of the cell, they fall on a dynamic two-dimensional (2D) plane. The dynamical nature of the constituents of the plane has been explained in detail from a mainly thermodynamic point of view in Chap. 2. The underlying mechanisms of the cell surface diffusion appear with various types of explanations. Biochemical and biological analyses of surface assay experiments provide observation-based explanations on the surface diffusion mechanisms. General physics rules on diffusion and adsorption have been tried to explain the cell surface diffusion and adsorption mechanisms theoretically. Most of the explanations appear with no conclusive and universal models that may explain the general surface diffusion of adsorbates and various other natural materials on and across the quite dynamic plane of the surface of the biological cell. In this chapter, we shall try to address this crucial issue considering some of our self-developed strategies as well as available information from various important studies.
