IX 1 Introduction One of the basic principles underlying the efficiency and adaptability of cellular meta bolism is the structural compartmentalization of the cell. Only through compartmenta lization can reaction components be kept apart prior to their reaction, isolated from other "reaction spaces" during the course of their reaction, and the reaction products incorporated into designated structures or transported to remote parts of the cell. Thus, the partitioning of the cellular substance into countless membranous spaces corresponds to the spatial segregation of reaction components, and the dynamics of intracellular membrane systems is an expression of ever-changing equilibrium condi tions and the continuous formation of new reaction spaces. It has been shown with some certainty that many of the processes in membrane dynamics can take place only with the aid of contractile proteins such as actin, myosin, and tubulin.
