From Chapter 3,
The Magical Mebrane:
"In 1985, I was living in a rented house on the spice-drenched Caribbean island of Grenada teaching at yet another "off-shore" medical school. It was 2 A.M., and I was up revisiting years of notes on the biology, chemistry, and physics of the cell membrane, trying to get a grasp of how it worked as an information processing system. That is when I experienced a moment of insight that transformed me into a membrane-centered biologist... At that early morning hour, I was redefining my understanding of the structural organization of the membrane, starting first with the lollipop-like phospholipid molecules and noting that they arranged in the membrane in perfect alignment. By definition, a structure whose molecules are arranged in regular, repeated pattern is defined as a crystal. This kind of crystal has a fluid structure even though its molecules maintain an organized pattern. Familiar examples of
liquid crystals include digital watch faces and laptop computer screens. So in defining this character of the membrane I wrote: "The membrane is a
liquid crystal."
"So I continued writing my description of the membrane by adding: "The membrane is a
semiconductor."
"Lastly, I wanted to include in my description the two most important kinds of IMPs [integral membrane proteins]. These are the 'receptors', and a class of 'effectors' called channels because they provide the all-important means for the cell to let in nutrients and let out waste matter. I was about to write that the membrane contains "receptors and channels" when I realized that a synonym for receptor is the word "gate". So instead I completed my description by writing: "The membrane contains
gates and
channels."
"I sat back and reviewed my new description of the membrane: "
The membrane is a liquid crystal semiconductor with gates and channels." What hit me right away was that I had recently heard or read the very same phrase, though at the moment I didn't know where I had come across it. One thing was for sure; it was not in the context of biological science.
"As I leaned back in my chair, my attention was drawn to my new Macintosh , my first computer. Lying beside the computer was a copy of a bright red book called
Understanding Your Microprocessor. I grabbed the book and found in the introduction a definition of a computer chip that read: "A chip is a crystal semiconductor with gates and channels." I was momentarily stunned when I realized that the identical nature of their definitions was not a coincidence. The cell membrane was indeed a structural and functional equivalent (homologue) of a silicon chip.
