摘要

Electrostatic fields generated on and inside biological membranes are recognized to play a fundamentalrole in key processes of cell functioning. Their understanding requires an adequate description on thelevel of elementary charges and the reconstruction of electrostatic potentials by integration over all ele-mentary interactions. Out of all the available research tools, only molecular dynamics simulations arecapable of this, extending from the atomic to the mesoscopic level of description on the required timeand space scale. A complementary approach is that offered by molecular probe methods, with the appli-cation of electrochromic dyes. Highly sensitive to intermolecular interactions, they generate integratedsignals arising from electric fields produced by elementary charges at the sites of their location. Thisreview is an attempt to provide a critical analysis of these two approaches and their present and potentialapplications. The results obtained by both methods are consistent in that they both show an extremelycomplex profile of the electric field in the membrane. The nanoscopic view, with two-dimensional aver-aging over the bilayer plane and formal separation of the electrostatic potential into surface (Ws), dipole(W d) ) and transmembrane (Wt) potentials, is constructive in the analysis of different functional propertiesof membranes.
