Abstract

The composite cell envelope is an impressive example of nature’s strategy to design complex materials and machineries with unique and stunning physical properties by self-assembly of hierarchical structures. The most simple prototype of a composite cell membrane is the envelope (often called plasma membrane) of red blood cells.
