Abstract

Lateral communication of information along biological membranes is thought to be a key process for many cellular activities. Support for this hypothesis comes from physicochemical experiments that slow that an efficient facilitated lateral proton conduction exists along lipid-water interfaces. The existence of a local two-dimensional hydrogen bond network between the lipid headgroups and their associated water molecules would explain this phenomenon.
